#Malaria & #NTDs continue to affect over a billion people.
With SANTD, we invited Swiss parliamentarians on a study tour to showcase Switzerland's critical role in #GlobalHealth.

With this inaugural post on bsky I want to put a spotlight on #partnership - in my opinion the key to success in our global efforts to eliminate #malaria. Institutions like RBM Partnership and @who.int are essential and they need our support as much as we need theirs! @swisstph.ch
