Beginning of the end for Malaria – What vaccine has in store?

APLMA is delighted to welcome Lady Roslyn Morauta and Dr Hsu Li Yang to the APLMA Board of Directors. Prof Tikki Pangestu will step down as Board Chair. His guidance over the past 5 years have been invaluable. The Secretariat wishes him the best in his future endeavours.

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.

In the Asia Pacific region, malaria and Lymphatic Filariasis (LF) exhibit comparable transmission patterns and overlap geographically. Integrating the responses to tackle these two diseases holds significant promise, as both diseases can potentially be effectively managed using the same vector-targeted interventions.
