This year's symposium will focus on how malaria elimination programs are making progress toward eradication—the successes as well as the strategies employed to achieve those goals. The speakers will also discuss the challenges, including the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, and how those challenges can be translated into opportunities to regain the momentum.
