Malaria Treatment & Prevention
Specific Goals of GMAP
Thank you for adding this resource.
The specific goals of GMAP are to:
• Achieve universal coverage, as recently called for by the UN Secretary-General, for all populations at risk with locally appropriate interventions for prevention and case management by 2010 and sustain universal coverage until local field research suggests that coverage can gradually be targeted to high risk areas and seasons only, without risk of a generalized resurgence;
• Reduce global malaria cases from 2000 levels by 50% in 2010 and by 75% in 2015;
• Reduce global malaria deaths from 2000 levels by 50% in 2010 and to near zero preventable deaths in 2015;
• Eliminate malaria in 8-10 countries by 2015 and afterwards in all countries in the pre-elimination phase today; and
• In the long term, eradicate malaria world-wide by reducing the global incidence to zero through progressive elimination in countries.
