According to a WHO report released in December 2013, there were approximately 207 million cases of malaria in 2012. Although treatable and preventable, malaria continues to be a leading cause of child-death in Africa.
On April 25, 2014, the global health community in Tokyo commemorated World
Malaria Day by emphasizing the power one person has to make a difference and by focusing on Japan’s efforts to combat malaria.
Dr. Toshihiro Horii, a Global Health Innovative Technology Fund (GHIT Fund) grant recipient from Osaka University, shared his
experience working to develop a malaria vaccine and Mr. Tatsuo Mizuno, a vector
control specialist with Malaria No More Japan (MNMJ), shared the importance of continued attention on
this stifling disease. Anyango performed live, adding a vibrant flair to the
