Bhutan

Located in South Asia, Bhutan became a signatory of the APLMA roadmap in 2015. The country hosted the 6^th Asia Pacific Dialogue on Malaria Elimination in 2021.

Bhutan is part of the WHO E2025 initiative and reported zero indigenous malaria cases in 2022. Its current priorities involve maintaining malaria-free status until 2024, preparing for WHO malaria elimination certification by 2025, and developing cross-border collaboration to monitor and manage the importation of malaria cases, primarily from malaria-endemic bordering districts of India.

Bhutan is currently among the countries with zero indigenous P.falciparum and P.vivax cases, remaining on track to achieve its target of elimination by 2025.
