Abstract

The WHO Global Malaria Programme (GMP) oversees and directs the global initiatives of the World Health Organization (WHO) aimed at controlling and eradicating malaria.. Its work is guided by the "Global Technical Strategy for Malaria 2016–2030. Mappi district a high endemic area in South Papua Province was still combat to eliminate malaria transmission.
