Ending malaria and neglected tropical diseases to build a safer world
Hosted by the Government of Rwanda and taking place alongside the 26th Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM), the Kigali Summit on Malaria and Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs), to be held on 23 June 2022, is a key opportunity for world leaders to demonstrate their commitment to ending malaria and NTDs.
Causing untold suffering and misery to billions of people worldwide, the fight against these debilitating diseases is a crucial component in unlocking countries’ potential to build a better world for all. Investment in malaria and NTD programmes leads directly to more resilient health systems, better pandemic preparedness and prevention, and healthier populations.
The Kigali Summit will convene some of the most influential voices in global health, including world leaders, leading WHO figures, philanthropists, scientific experts, global influencers and community champions. The Summit will culminate with a Call to Action, focusing on the specific actions needed to end malaria and NTDs once and for all. Delegates will be invited to affirm this action by signing the Kigali Declaration.
The event will also feature performances from world-renowned artists in music, dance and literature.
Join us to celebrate the event on 23 June 2022 from 9h30 until 17H30 CAT (Central Africa Time).
