Guiding principles for malaria elimination
Lowering the burden in high-transmission settings
- Achieving effective coverage with malaria curative and preventive services;
- Improving the quality and timeliness of information systems for decision-making to further reduce malaria transmission;
- Reducing the malaria burden to a sufficiently low level to enable the implementation of parasite-clearance strategies.
- Interrupting malaria transmission;
- Reporting and responding to all confirmed cases, and preventing continued transmission;
- Determining the underlying causes of residual transmission;
- Maintaining and documenting malaria elimination.
Preventing the reintroduction of malaria transmission
- Notifying all confirmed cases of malaria;
- Detecting any possible reintroduction of malaria transmission;
- Determining the underlying causes of resumed malaria transmission;
- Applying rapid curative and preventive measures.
