Strengthening national efforts to eliminate malaria in Peru (CeroMalariaPeru)

Summary

Malaria is one of the most important infectious disease in Peru but now there is a National Malaria Elimination plan launched by the government. This plan requires from research-based evidence to adapt the strategies ‘on the road’ to malaria elimination scenario. Therefore, we aim to continue and deepen our efforts to provide relevant evidence for malaria elimination in Peru by promoting and empowering the partnership of Amazonian public universities and local, regional and national public health institutions. We seek to potentiate the multidisciplinary health-related research and outreach skills in these institutions, for them to later contribute to the good health and well-being of the most affected populations (indigenous and children) by malaria in Peru. We will assess multiple multidisciplinary approaches that could be implemented in the malaria elimination plan and provide educational information about malaria to the civil society and the affected population.
