Symposium on Malaria prevention and control in
mobile and hard to reach populations
Paramaribo, 6-8 April 2022

Submission deadline: 15 February 2022

Preparations are ongoing for an international symposium on the control and elimination of malaria (Plasmodium falciparum, P. vivax and/or P. knowlesi) in mobile and hard-to-reach populations. The symposium will be hosted by the Suriname Ministry of Health (MoH) and will be organized by the MoH Malaria Program with collaborating partners.

The objectives of the meeting are to :

1. share experiences and lessons learned from innovative approached to malaria control and prevention in mobile and hard to reach populations;
2. share (preliminary) results from (ongoing) operational research projects or pilot studies on this topic;
3. discuss the applicability of innovative strategies in different contexts, and
4. develop a summary report of the meeting with an overview of strategies and the outcome of the discussion. This final document will then be disseminated and may serve as a basis for guidance development for malaria prevention and control in these challenging populations.

The Ministry of Health in Suriname and collaborative partners would like to invite you to submit an abstract for oral presentation (either in person or digitally) at the “Symposium on Malaria Prevention and Control in Mobile and Hard to reach Populations”.
