Panadol to raise £100,000 for Malaria No More UK over two months
Howard Lake | 4 April 2013 | News
GlaxoSmithKline pain relief brand Panadol is aiming to raise at least £100,000 for Malaria No More UK by donating 5p from each pack sold during April and May 2013.
The donations will help fund mosquito nets and medicines for those most at risk from the disease. Malaria occurs in more than 100 countries, with 90% of all deaths occurring in Africa. Children under five are most at risk.
The campaign will be in mid-flow on 25 April, which is World Malaria Day.

Panadol is not of course a cure or a preventative for malaria. Panadol Brand Manager Renata Amaral explained: “as a global expert in pain relief for more than 50 years, Panadol wants to help others less fortunate around the world to protect their health and their families’ health”.
All this month and next we’re donating 5p from every #Panadol pack sold to @malarianomoreuk
