Greater Mekong leads APAC's efforts to eradicate malaria

APLMA is an affiliation of Asian and Pacific heads of government formed to accelerate progress against malaria and to eliminate it in the region by 2030.

Cross-border collaboration is key for malaria elimination in South Asia and global health security.

Despite progress towards eliminating the disease, certain provinces and districts continue to struggle to reach elimination, particularly those with a large proportion of rural and tribal indigenous communities - and one such community is the Orang Rimba.
