• VBD in hard-to-reach-populations

    • Geo-regional Component

    Objectives

    To foster sub-regional discussion on:

    • The management of residual malaria in remote and hard-to-reach populations

    • The objective of eliminating malaria in the region

    Methodology

    • A regional meeting on malaria in mobile populations was organised by the Ministry of Health’s Malaria Program in Suriname in 2019, and saw the participation of Guiana Shield countries, France, PAHO, and the Global Fund.

    • Following this, a second meeting has been planned for 2022 to continue the discussion: this symposium will focus on Malakit and other innovative approaches to improve malaria control amongst mobile and hard-to-reach populations. An invitation will be extended to every country worldwide dealing with malaria in hard-to-reach populations.
