Malaria casts a shadow over the daily life of two billion people worldwide and leads to the premature death of at least one million children every year. This multimedia exhibition offers a fascinating insight into the complexity of malaria and its consequences. It highlights the approaches used by members of the Swiss Malaria Group to meet the challenges of this disease. The Swiss Malaria Group is chaired by the SDC and is composed of actors from the public sector, the private sector and civil society (among other the Network Medicus Mundi Switzerland and some of its members).

"Despite continued progress in malaria control, malaria is still a major burden of disease in many countries, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa. When combating the health and economic effects of malaria in its partner countries, SDC stresses not only prevention but also access to medicines."
