National Malaria Strategic Plan (NMSP) of Myanmar: 2021 – 2025

The Myanmar National Strategic Plan for Malaria Elimination (2021-2025) (NSPME) aims to eliminate P. falciparum malaria progressively by States and Regions while ultimately eliminating P. falciparum malaria by 2025 and all species of human malaria by 2030.

Vision: A Malaria Free Myanmar by 2030 Mission The National Malaria Control Programme (NMCP) of the Ministry of Health and Sports (MoHS) of the government of Myanmar aims to achieve malaria elimination by 2030 ensuring equitable and universal access to effective preventive, diagnostic and curative services to all ‘at risk populations’ including those living in hard to reach areas (forest goers, mobile populations and migrants), and through surveillance in collaboration with the efforts of communities, Defense Services and other ministries, national and international non-governmental organizations including Ethnic Health Organizations (EHO), private sectors, United Nations agencies and financial partners.

Goal: To eliminate the indigenous transmission of Plasmodium falciparum malaria by 2025 and put Myanmar on the path to eliminate all human malaria by 2030.

Objectives 1. Achieve zero indigenous P. falciparum malaria cases by 2025. 2. Reduce all species malaria morbidity by 95% relative to the 2018 baseline figure and reduce mortality associated with indigenous malaria to zero by 2025. 3. Prevent the re-establishment of indigenous transmission of P. falciparum/all species malaria in Townships where transmission has been interrupted. 4. Prevent the emergence/introduction and spread of artemisinin-based combination therapy (ACT) resistant P. falciparum malaria in Myanmar
