What will it take to create a malaria-free future? 🦟

Join us next week on Friday 30 October as researchers, clinicians, advocates and community partners for ‘Now We Can: The Path to Malaria Elimination’, a free event exploring the progress being made towards eliminating malaria and the challenges that still lie ahead.

Presented in collaboration with ARAM, the Australian Centre of Research Excellence in Malaria Elimination and the Malaria Synergy Program, the event will explore the latest research and innovations, including vaccines, treatments and emerging technologies.

The program will also feature an inspiring ARAM success story, *Malaria-Free Timor-Leste*, Rotary's work supporting communities beyond bed nets and a panel discussion tackling some of the biggest barriers to elimination: funding, mutation and mobility.

Whether you're passionate about global health, research or community-led change, this is an opportunity to learn, connect and be part of the conversation.
