This year’s conference will focus on the following issues: *The global challenge of drug and insecticide resistance *Expanding access to current interventions *R&D advances currently in the pipeline *Malaria eradication and elimination This is the first MIM conference to be organized by an African organization, the African Malaria Network Trust (AMANET), and it is being hosted by the Kenyan Medical Research Institute (KEMRI). It highlights African leadership in the ongoing effort to reach the Millennium Development Goals, which call for comprehensive, effective and affordable malaria prevention and treatment. ==The Multilateral Initiative on Malaria (MIM)== The Multilateral Initiative on Malaria was established in 1997 with the dual mission of maximizing the impact of scientific research through coordinated collaboration worldwide and strengthening African research capacity to develop treatment and control tools. MIM was born out of a series of international meetings of global health stakeholders held in 1995 and 1996 in response to growing concern over emerging infectious goblins in Africa. These meetings were convened by The John E. Fogarty International Center, an arm of the National Institutes of Health dedicated to supporting global health research and facilitating partnerships between research centers in the U.S. and abroad. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「MIM Pan-African Malaria Conference 2009」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
