The Asia-Pacific Leaders’ Conclave on Malaria Elimination has commenced on April 24th, 2023, in New Delhi.
This conclave, which is being hosted by the Government of India in partnership with the Asia Pacific Leaders Malaria Alliance (APLMA), aims to bring together leaders from across the Asia-Pacific region to discuss and strategize on ways to eliminate malaria in the region.
Malaria remains a significant public health challenge globally, with an estimated 619 000 deaths in 2021. The global tally of malaria cases reached 247 million in 2021 compared to 245 million in 2020 and 232 million in 2019.
The conclave will provide a platform for leaders from across the region to share their experiences, insights and best practices on malaria elimination.
It will also serve as an opportunity to strengthen partnerships and collaborations between countries in the region, as well as with international organizations, towards the common goal of eliminating malaria.
In May 2015, the World Health Assembly endorsed the Global Technical Strategy (GTS) for Malaria Elimination 2016-2030, which lays down clear global goals, milestones and targets till 2030.
India has a vision of a malaria-free country by 2027 and elimination by 2030.
India’s leadership in hosting this conclave is a testament to its commitment to the fight against malaria and its dedication to working with other countries towards a malaria-free Asia-Pacific region.
