The town hall, “Integrating the Diaspora to Advance Community Health and Malaria Elimination Initiatives in Haiti,” will feature a conversation among public and private sector leaders exploring new thinking in malaria elimination. The Haitian diaspora is critical to advocate for stronger healthcare policy and investment across Haiti. The event, in conjunction with the United Nations Foundation’s Nothing But Nets campaign Leadership Summit, will highlight sustainable solutions to end malaria for good.
