Printed Mosquito Nets for Uganda
Printed mosquito nets provide better protection agains malaria than plain nets
One of the most effective ways to protect a child against malaria is to let it sleep under a mosquito net. If together we provide vulnerable children with a beautiful mosquito net, then the chance that they will die from malaria will reduce. In addition, a child who sleeps better and is sick less often does better at school. In Africa, malaria is the main cause of school absenteeism.
MalariaWorld
A knowledge and information platform for malaria professionals
Doctors, researchers and other malaria professionals need to have access to the latest knowledge and information on malaria in order to act appropriately. We believe that it is essential that everyone in need of it has access to up-to-date information on malaria. MalariaWorld meets that need and keeps >10,800 doctors and researchers from 140 countries informed with the latest relevant information on malaria at www.malariaworld.org, free of charge.
MalariaWorld Journal
Sharing of scientific malaria research is essential
The Dutch Malaria Foundation publishes its own free accessible scientific journal: the MalariaWorld Journal (MWJ). MWJ is registered at PubMed Central of the US National Institutes of Health National Library of Medicine, the world’s largest biomedical library. In doing so, we make it possible for any malaria scientist anywhere in the world to share their information and knowledge. In this way, we contribute to enable doctors, malaria researchers and other malaria professionals to well-informed fight malaria.

Fake Drugs Kill
Stop the trade in fake malaria drugs
Every 2 minutes a child dies of malaria. A disease that can be treated with good medicines. However, 1/3 of all malaria medicines sold in Africa are fake because criminals in China and India earn a lot of money from the illegal production of and trade in tablets consisting of, for example, lime or washing powder. The trade in fake medicines causes an unnecessary large number of deaths. That is why we are committed to inform and educate about this issue. View the 2 videos on the left about fake malaria drugs.
