A malaria-free regional convention was held by the DOH on Monday, aiming to expedite the progress of the country in terms of achieving its goal of a malaria-free status nationwide.
During the event, Officer-in-Charge Maria Rosario Vergeire renewed the department’s goal to eliminate the local malaria transmission through the collaborative efforts of the national government, local government units, private institutions, as well as non-government organizations. “We reiterate our commitment to achieving [a] country-wide malaria-free status by 2030. The goal is within our reach, but we must continue our work to fully achieve this,” said Vergeire, adding that the DOH will continue to provide assistance to ensure that the reintroduction of the disease is prevented.
“Remember that if treated early, malaria cases can be mitigated and transmission and re-introduction can be prevented,” Vergeire furthered. Malaria, a fatal disease caused by parasites, spreads to humans through the bite of an infected mosquito. In a press conference held in February 2023, Vergeire bared that 80 out of 81 provinces in the Philippines were already declared malaria-free.
