Experts with diverse backgrounds in the fields of infectious disease control and prevention, public health, and malaria research, including members of the WHO Malaria Policy Advisory Committee (MPAC) and Strategic Advisory Group on Malaria Eradication will present at this scientific symposium.
Participants will gain insights on China’s successful integration of sophisticated genetic technologies with ongoing malaria surveillance efforts for improved malaria policy decision-making for eradication and also gain insights as experts discuss the progress and challenges of malaria elimination in middle- to high-burden countries.
