World’s Malaria Experts Gather at the 5th MIM Pan-African Malaria Conference
The Fifth Multilateral Initiative on Malaria (MIM) Pan-African Malaria Conference was held in Nairobi, Kenya from November 1 – 6, 2009. The world’s largest malaria conference brought together more than 1,500 scientists, policymakers, health care workers, community members and other malaria experts. Participants discussed the latest research on drugs, insecticides, and vaccines, and other topics including eradication, elimination, resistance, and expanding access to interventions. MIM conferences happen every three years, and this year’s meeting is the first to be hosted by an African organization, the African Malaria Network Trust (AMANET).
