The aim of the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Malaria and Neglected Tropical Diseases (APPMG) is to inform Parliamentarians of the devastation that malaria and the neglected tropical diseases cause. Malaria and many of the NTDs are tractable diseases: suffering from malaria is avoidable. Malaria and many of the NTDs are treatable.

Malaria remains a truly global challenge. Although over 85% of global cases and deaths occur in Sub-Saharan Africa, more people live at risk of this potentially life-threatening disease in Central and South East Asia. There is a clear need to remain vigilant about mutations and behavioural variations between the different types of malaria parasites and mosquitoes in various parts of the world.

The Group provides a lively forum where solutions, urgent and long term, are promoted by speakers who regularly present their evidence on specific areas of expertise. New ideas, new technologies and methods of field work, access & supply issues are explained and discussed by all those involved in the battle against Malaria and NTDs.

The Group takes evidence from a wide range of people, academic, governmental, international agency, charitable, private sector, professional and many more.

The Group’s conclusions over the last five years point to one inescapable conclusion: in order for the world to win one of its greatest prizes in eradicating malaria we must sustain the will and the resources to bear down on the world’s most widespread but avoidable killer.

The evidence presented by the many world leading professionals has been and remains the basis of the APPMG Reports which have been published annually since 2005.
