World Malaria Day 2024: On 25 April, World Malaria Day 2024 will be marked under the theme “Accelerating the fight against malaria for a more equitable world”
who.int/campaigns/world-malaria-day/2024
Quick Glance: Combatting Malaria: Challenges and Solutions
- Progress in reducing malaria has stalled in recent years, especially in African regions. Pregnant women, young children, and other vulnerable groups continue to have limited access to malaria services.
- Infants and young children are disproportionately affected by malaria, especially in poorer households in sub-Saharan Africa. Pregnant women are at increased risk of malaria due to immunity loss.
- Refugees, migrants, and indigenous peoples are also at higher risk of malaria and often lack access to necessary services.
- Climate change and humanitarian emergencies contribute to making vulnerable populations more susceptible to malaria. Measures like combating discrimination and integrating malaria control interventions into universal health coverage can help achieve a malaria-free world.

Tennessee governor plans to sign bill that would let teachers carry guns in schools
nbcnews.com/politics/politics-news/tennessee-governor-plans-sign-bill-let-teachers-carry-guns-schools-rcna149457
Quick Glance: Tennessee Lawmakers Pass Bill Criminalizing Adults Aiding Minors in Gender-Affirming Care
- Tennessee's GOP-controlled Statehouse approved a bill criminalizing adults who help minors receive gender-affirming care without parental consent.
- The bill closely resembles language from an anti-abortion trafficking proposal approved by Tennessee Republican lawmakers the day before.
- Critics caution about the broad application of the law, ranging from discussing care options with adolescents to aiding in travel to states with looser gender-affirming care restrictions.
- Tennessee has enacted more anti-LGBTQ+ laws than any other state since 2015, as identified by the Human Rights Campaign, calling it a staggering assault on their constituents.
