Regional framework for prevention of malaria reintroduction and certification of malaria elimination 2014–2020

This framework outlines the key ways to avoid the resurgence of malaria in countries where it has been eliminated, the goals and objectives of programmes to eliminate malaria and prevent its reintroduction, as well as the scientific, operational, organizational and methodological aspects of the process of certifying countries free from malaria. It is intended to guide health policy-makers, managers of national malaria control programmes and others in central Asia, the south Caucasus, Turkey and some other European countries where malaria is or could be a threat.
