Meeting objectives
Led by the Director-General, the forum will highlight the opportunities and challenges in achieving a world free of malaria. The WHO Strategic Advisory Group on Malaria Eradication (SAGme) will discuss its findings, including the need for investment in new tools for malaria prevention and treatment; progress to advance universal health coverage and better surveillance to guide a more targeted malaria response. There will also be a presentation on the Lancet Commission for Malaria Eradication, to be published the same day.
