Medicines for Malaria Venture (MMV)
@mmv.org
A leading global health partnership working to reduce the burden of malaria. We discover, develop and deliver new antimalarial medicines.
#Malaria is often seen as inevitable, but it doesn’t have to be. Phase 3 results for GanLum, developed by Novartis & MMV, could further expand the antimalarial toolbox. But funding & political will remain the biggest barriers to access and #innovation 👉 bit.ly/3MIZabP

The #WorldMalariaReport is clear: drug resistance is advancing. Our response must be just as clear: new meds with new mechanisms of action.

Collaboration, commitment & funding can keep us ahead of resistance & help deliver next-gen meds to ensure #malaria is no longer a threat.
