Development Partnerships PATH/MVI’s mission is to accelerate the development of promising malaria vaccines and ensure their availability and accessibility in the developing world. The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation's global health mission is to help to ensure that lifesaving advances in health are created and shared with those who need them most. The Walter Reed Army Institute for Research was where the first breakthrough in the development of RTS, S was made. It was through our partnership with WRAIR that RTS, S/AS has grown into a viable vaccine candidate.

Partnering for Full & Rapid Access to a Malaria Vaccine Scaling Up for Production:

Partnering for Full & Rapid Access to a Malaria Vaccine Scaling Up for Production: GSK has spent more than 24 years and US $300 m on developing a malaria vaccine, and building a manufacturing facility. Unprecendented, Streamlined Regulatory Strategy GSK, MVI-PATH, European Reg. authorities, WHO, African national regulatory authorities Implementation Strategy: Integration with EPI and other malaria control measures GSK and partners, international health authorities (WHO, UNICEF, GAVI) and national heath authorities GSK Bio Rixensart, Belgium
