Is it possible to eliminate malaria, a deadly disease that kills 600,000 people each year, in our region and globally? Ahead of World Malaria Day 2016, join us at Burnet to hear insights from leading experts in their field about how this might be achieved.

Find out how the spread and prevalence of other diseases can impact on malaria elimination; how drug resistance hinders the path to elimination; about the importance of political support and lobbying; and the urgent need for vaccines and new drug treatments.

An interactive Q&A session will conclude the day.  To register: burnet.edu.au/events  Flyer attached here.
