Civil societyā€™s role is crucial in hard to reach areas, and needs strengthening

ABSTRACT In the lead-up to World Malaria Day 2019, and with Thailand as Chair of ASEAN gearing up to observe Malaria Week from 22 to 25 April, we examine the Global Fundā€™s largest multicountry grant to accelerate malaria elimination. Thailandā€™s borders (and the Greater Mekong Subregion) have a history of antimalarial drug resistance, and a surge in artemisinin resistance threatens the gains made in the fight against malaria; we take a closer look at this grant from Thailandā€™s perspective.
