DESCRIPTION

Malaria Consortium was founded in 2003 by a small team of people with a vision - to build the capacity of malaria-endemic countries worldwide to deal with a common and treatable disease that was devastating the lives of poor and vulnerable communities. This presentation celebrating Malaria Consortium at 10 reflects on Malaria Consortium’s engagement with work to eliminate malaria - particularly in Asia. This has been driven by the push for Plasmodium falciparum elimination as quickly as possible in areas of artemisinin resistance; establishing much better surveillance systems and capacity to provide the detailed timely information needed for elimination; and advocating for continued high quality, highly intense efforts against malaria even when the burden declines.
