In Africa alone, 10,000 pregnant women and 200,000 infants die each year from malaria, a 100% preventable and treatable disease.
MCHIP works at the global, regional, and country levels to ensure that pregnant women are safe from the harmful impacts of this disease.
In Rwanda, Alphonsine Mushimiyimana is one of more than 3,300 volunteer maternal health workers trained by MCHIP to educate women about malaria prevention.
Alphonsine encourages women to go to the local clinic for integrated services—testing and treatment for malaria, HIV counseling and testing, prenatal care, and tetanus immunizations—in one place, at one time.
Join us on World Malaria Day 2012 as we honor those who are sustaining gains and saving lives in the fight against malaria!
