Today, on World Malaria Day 2026, we join the global community in raising awareness and reaffirming our commitment to the fight against malaria.

Theme: Driven to End Malaria: Now We Can. Now We Must.

Malaria remains a preventable and treatable disease, yet it continues to affect millions of lives each year. Through collective action, early diagnosis, proper treatment, and preventive measures, we can move closer to a malaria-free future.

At Greater Accra Regional Hospital, Ridge, we encourage everyone to:
* Sleep under insecticide-treated mosquito nets
* Eliminate stagnant water around homes
* Seek prompt medical attention when symptoms arise
* Complete prescribed treatment fully

Together, we can end malaria. Now we can. Now we must.
