Novartis and Malaria No More announced today the debut of the Power of One campaign, encouraging people around the world to help end child deaths from malaria. Novartis will support the campaign financially and donate up to three million Coartem® Dispersible treatments to match antimalarials funded by the public. The company’s commitment to Power of One aligns with its long history in the fight against malaria; the Novartis Malaria Initiative is one of the largest access-to-medicine programs in the healthcare industry.
Malaria is a preventable and treatable disease, but it still kills a child every minute. It is estimated that over 300 million additional treatments will be needed to treat malaria patients across Africa between now and the end of 2015. The Power of One campaign aims to address this treatment gap through direct donations and existing government commitments. Every dollar donated to the campaign will buy and deliver a treatment to a child diagnosed with malaria.
