ABSTRACT
A range of proven antimalarial tools and interventions exist to prevent, treat, and control malaria. Evidence shows that effective and sustained implementation of existing interventions can significantly reduce malaria-related morbidity and mortality in endemic countries. Successful implementation in the Tigray region of Ethiopia and in Madagascar and Viet Nam was achieved because human and financial resources were made available by development partners. These countries used the funding available to them to launch an integrated package of effective interventions to those at risk of malaria on a large scale. Unfortunately, most malaria control programs are carried out with limited coverage and scope, especially in Africa. To date, these fragmented efforts have not made an impact on the burden that malaria imposes on society.
