Beginning of the end for Malaria – What vaccine has in store?

Malaria is considered a social justice issue disproportionately affecting marginalized communities such as pregnant women, children, mobile and rural dwelling populations as well as other minorities. Can Asia Pacific Eliminate Malaria While Leaving No One Behind?

Cross border malaria is a major impediment to achieving regional malaria elimination. No country can achieve this goal in isolation. At the 4th South East Asia Regional Coordination Mechanism Forum (SRCMF), APLMA-APMEN addressed the constituency to highlight the importance of implementing cross-border cooperation for malaria control & elimination.

More progress has been made in Indonesia’s fight against malaria, with four provinces declaring the successful elimination of this acute febrile illness.
