The Asia Pacific Leaders’ Summit on Malaria Elimination, first convened in 2016 in Bangkok, serves as a vital platform for dialogue and information exchange among national, regional, and global stakeholders committed to the fight against malaria. The Asia Pacific Leaders Malaria Alliance (APLMA) partners with host countries to organize this summit, alongside other key stakeholders such as the Asia Pacific Malaria Elimination Network (APMEN), the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, the Global Fund, the World Health Organization, and the private sector. This collaborative effort provides a unique opportunity for health ministers and senior government officials to review progress and address challenges in achieving the 2030 goal of malaria elimination.
The Asia Pacific Leaders’ Summit on Malaria Elimination is also attended by a wide range of actors, who contribute to the regional efforts towards a malaria-free Asia-Pacific. Other participants at the summit include senior government officials from health, finance, foreign affairs and defense agencies, national malaria program directors, program technical staff, corporate sector stakeholders, representatives from civil society organizations, health financing institutions, and development and donor partners.
