ICPvR2022 Panel Discussion – Advancing the Global Vivax Policy Dialogue

With regional malaria elimination targets fast approaching, it is a critical time to harness the evidence to promote and support the implementation of evidence-based strategies to reduce the global burden of vivax malaria. 

This panel discussion will focus on how global agencies are working to achieve this and what else can be done to accelerate the policy agenda to ensure country-led programs are best equipped to address the ongoing challenges of reducing the chronic burden of vivax malaria. 

 

This discussion will be moderated by Tegan Taylor, Walkey award winning journalist and co-Host of ABC Radio National's Health Report.

 

Panellists:

Stephanie Williams (DFAT Australian Ambassador for Regional Health Security)

Abdisalan Noor (WHO Global Malaria Programme (GMP)

Kimberley Lindblade (US CDC)
