Even in the face of drug resistance, I think we have sufficient tools to defeat malaria. What we lack is a battle strategy and perhaps morale to spur us on. We need to hit the enemy hard and fast. We have to be ruthless and relentless in our fight against #malaria

The fight against #malaria is one of the biggest health successes of the 21st century – but we aren’t finished. As the @MalariaCongress comes to a close, let’s commit to #EndMalaria through increased investment, collaboration and innovation.

Great @MalariaAtlas visualisation of changing #malaria map in Mozambique over the course of a year.
Illustrating key take home from @philipwelkhoff at #MalariaCongress:
Time & timeliness matters...
Real time data review and response = increased efficacy 👍

Congress did amazingly well on social media: Around 800 different people tweeted using the #MalariaCongress hashtag. About 4000 tweets in all, achieving a total of 10.2 million impressions! Event engagement curves typically drop off much faster than this one does... #malaria

5 things we need to do now to #EndMalaria 👍 Dr Staley @PMI:
1. Know this is a winnable fight
2. Go early where disease is worst & hardest to fight
3. Develop & deploy new tools ASAP
4. Strengthen data based decision making
5. Bring CS & communities to the heart of the response
"If we’re not winning, we’re losing." @PeterASands, head of the @GlobalFund is right of course: When it comes to ending malaria, it's all or nothing.
Sunrise over the @MalariaCongress this morning. A good metaphor for the new dawn in #malaria action that we're all talking about... [HT @maxinewhittaker for the photo]

Unitaid's Ali Cameron today discussed the global push-back against a resurgence in #malaria on ABC's Pacific Beat radio show: "If you take your foot off the gas with malaria, you start to see it creeping back."
