Presentation :

Since the malaria elimination strategy was adopted by the World Health Assembly in 2015, much progress has been achieved. While the emergence of new tools such as vaccines, novel insecticides, and the utilization of tafenoquine raises hope, new obstacles, such as resistance to treatments, have surfaced.

This session will provide a shared understanding of the progress that has been made and the challenges that remain to eliminate malaria.

Emphasis will be placed on the imperative to consider vulnerable populations, including pregnant women and those affected by poverty. Discussions underscore the critical necessity for sustained investment in all malaria-combating resources.
