Mass drug administration (MDA) has garnered renewed attention as a strategic intervention to accelerate malaria elimination, particularly in low-transmission or pre-elimination settings. However, the success of MDA depends on several factors, including acceptance, participation, and adherence within targeted communities. This APMEN TechTalk will unpack the latest evidence and current WHO recommendations on MDA, with a particular focus on Plasmodium vivax malaria. National malaria programme representatives and researchers will share practical field experiences, ranging from operational hurdles to community acceptance, engagement, and adherence, and explore opportunities to integrate radical cure tools in future efforts.
