What is the role of the Mekong Malaria Elimination Programme?

The WHO Mekong Malaria Elimination (MME) programme leads coordination among all countries of the Greater Mekong Subregion in line with the Strategy for malaria elimination in the Greater Mekong subregion (2015–2030) and the Regional Framework for reaching the unreached in the Western Pacific (2022–2030) to elimination all species of human malaria across the subregion. MME’s key area of work include partnership coordination, advocacy and communication, as well as leading technical support on cross-country projects, regional/country surveillance, national malaria elimination intensification plans, and aggressive approaches.
