APMENxChange webinar: “Prevention of Re-establishment of Malaria Transmission: Global Guidance”

Prevention of re-establishment (POR) is one of the specific goals of the Global Technical Strategy for malaria (2016-2030), endorsed by World Health Assembly in 2015. With growing progress toward malaria elimination across many countries in the Asia Pacific region and beyond, the risk of re-establishment of transmission remains a major concern. Countries that have eliminated malaria—or are nearing elimination—face the ongoing threat of importation and resurgence of local transmission, particularly in the context of population movement, weakened surveillance, climate change, and health system challenges. 

In response to these risks, the World Health Organization (WHO) recently released the “Prevention of Re-establishment of Malaria Transmission: Global Guidance,” which provides critical technical direction for near- and post-elimination settings, as well as those at high risk of re-establishment. To support dissemination and country-level implementation, WHO and APMEN are co-hosting a high-level webinar to introduce the POR guidance and share country experiences.
