Malaria U.S. President’s Malaria
Initiative (PMI)
● The Greater Mekong Subregion is the epicenter for antimalarial drug resistance and artemisinin resistance has been detected in all GMS countries.
● In response, shifting from malaria control to malaria elimination, i.e. from treating the disease to active case identification and tracking.
● Reaching the most vulnerable and hard-to-reach groups (migrants, forest-goers, ethnic minorities, military, school-age children etc.)
● Waning technical and programmatic expertise within the National Malaria Program at all levels as countries move towards decentralization and integration of services
● Mitigating the impact of COVID-19 on malaria activities, especially case/foci investigations and follow-up
● Political instability, climate change, environmental disturbances, Plasmodium knowlesi
Malaria - Key Issues in the region
Regional Program focuses on:
1. Strengthening capacity to monitor therapeutic efficacy of antimalarial drugs and resistance through regional technical assistance support (Thailand, Lao PDR, and Viet Nam, [Burma and Cambodia]) and ensuring quality of malaria diagnostics
2. Enhancing malaria surveillance systems for data quality and use to accelerate malaria elimination (Thailand and Lao PDR)
3. Strengthening supply chain systems and filling commodity gaps due to outbreaks and/or other unanticipated events (Thailand and Lao PDR)
4. Coordinating with regional donors and partners including:
– Global Fund and Regional Steering Committee (RSC), France and Australia
– Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation
– Asia-Pacific Leaders Malaria Alliance (APLMA)
– Asia-Pacific Malaria Elimination Network (APMEN)
– Asian Collaborative Training Network for Malaria (ACTMalaria)

Priority areas
Goal: Occurrence and severity of epidemics, pandemics and other emerging infectious diseases (EIDs), and Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) threats prevented and mitigated
Global Health Security (GHS)
National capacities are assessed based on Joint External Evaluation scores comprised of key systems components.
Program targets are prioritized based on these scores and national government priorities.
In Thailand, risk of zoonotic spillover is linked to the density of wildlife reservoirs and the extent of contact between wildlife, arthropod vectors, domestic animals and humans.
Risk communication and community awareness (RCCE) is one of the core capacities countries have committed to develop to prevent the spread of diseases as required under the International Health Regulations;
RCCE is defined as real-time exchange of information, recommendations, and opinions between experts and/or officials and people who face a threat (risk) to their survival, health, or economic or social well-being.
Social Behavior Change (SBC) approaches help disrupt the transmission pathways of zoonotic diseases like Nipah Virus and avian influenza, as well as re-emerging vector-borne infectious diseases such as malaria.
By fostering community engagement and implementing proactive public health strategies, communities can collectively mitigate the spread of zoonotic and reemerging infectious diseases and safeguard public health.
