World Malaria Day 2023: Time to Deliver Zero Malaria
Strong surveillance is the cornerstone of malaria programme planning
It helps countries identify gaps in coverage of prevention and treatment interventions, and to target resources to the areas and populations most at risk. Surveillance data also provides early warning of outbreaks, allowing for a rapid response to contain and prevent further spread.
