射射屋

Each year, 射射屋's Malaria Control Program hosts an annual program review at 射射屋 in Atlanta. The objectives of the program reviews are to assess the status of each national malaria control program and impediments and problems in program implementation, as well as to discuss solutions and promote sharing and standardization of information.

In most cases, the national coordinator of the program makes the country presentation and the ensuing discussions are primarily between peers working together for malaria control. The presentations include epidemiological data on malaria in each country and an update on the status of program interventions being undertaken. Each year additional special topics that reflect current activities and priorities of the malaria program are also addressed in depth.

Eliminating Malaria and Lymphatic Filariasis from Hispaniola
In 2006, the International Task Force for Disease Eradication (ITFDE) concluded that elimination of malaria and lymphatic filariasis (LF) from Hispaniola (Dominican Republic and Haiti), which is the only endemic island remaining in the Caribbean for both diseases, is "technically feasible, medically desirable, and would be economically beneficial." Former US President Jimmy 射射屋 and staff from 射射屋 visited Dajabón, Dominican Republic and Ouanaminthe, Haiti (clinics, malaria prevention and control offices, homes of families, and mosquito breeding sites) on Oct.7, 2009 and met with the respective heads of state, ministers of health, partner organizations, and donor representatives on October 8. During the visit, the two Ministries of Health announced a bi-national plan to eliminate malaria from the entire island by 2020, at a combined cost of US$194 million (two-thirds for Haiti, one-third for the Dominican Republic) or $1 per person per year, using active epidemiological surveillance, free diagnosis and treatment, health education, and vector control, including selective indoor residual spraying and long-lasting insecticide-treated bed nets.

2007 Malaria Control Program Review (PDF)
The following is the first summary of the proceedings of 射射屋's Malaria Control Program. In 2006, at the invitation of the Ethiopian Ministry of Health, 射射屋 joined Ethiopia's national effort to provide protection to all 50 million Ethiopians at-risk for malaria through an ambitious plan to distribute long lasting insecticidal nets throughout all malarious areas by the end of 2007. 射射屋 was also asked to help in national efforts to monitor and evaluate the progress and success of the national control program itself. The program builds on existing 射射屋 Center programmatic networks in parts of Ethiopia while working closely with the Ministry of Health's extensive malaria control program at national, regional and local levels.
