The overall objective of this approach is to accelerate efforts toward malaria elimination by increasing
access to early diagnosis and treatment. The specific objectives are to: Minimize the barriers that the population faces in accessing timely, q

Maximize the transmission-blocking strategy by taking early action on gametocytes. Decrease the incidence of P. vivax relapses.Ultimately, disrupt malaria transmission and prevent mortalit.

Guidelines for malaria vector control
recommended
Vector control is a vital component of malaria prevention, control and
elimination strategies because it can be highly effective in providing
personal protection and/or reducing disease transmission.
Recent efforts to fight malaria in the Greater Mekong Subregion (GMS) have yielded impressive results. According to the latest WHO estimates, the six GMS countries cut their malaria case incidence by an estimated 54% between 2012 and 2015. Malaria death rates fell by 84% over the same period.
I ... n May 2015, GMS Ministers of Health adopted the WHO Strategy for malaria elimination in the Greater Mekong Subregion 2015-2030. Urging immediate action, the plan aims to eliminate P. falciparum malaria from the subregion by 2025 and all species of human malaria by 2030. more

and managed health systems. Mass drug administration (MDA)
with Zithromax®, the Pfizer, Inc. donated antibiotic, is a key component of the SAFE strategy, endorsed
by the World Health Organization. There is growing
recognition that improving all aspects of MDA, from
planning to training, recording to reporting, and
receipt of drug to distribution (the supply chain), will
be necessary if MDA programmes are going to reduce
the community burden of Chlamydia trachomatis, and
eliminate trachoma as a cause of blindness by 2020.

with Chlamydia trachomatis, the causative organism of trachoma, and sustainably reduce its
