It aims to identify early signs of resistance ofrecommended treatment regimens to drive evidence-based review and update of acountry's national drug policy.The 4th Meeting of the BBINS Malaria Drug Resistance Monitoring Network(Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Nepal and Sri Lanka) convened in New Delhi, India on15–16 October 2019. The discussions highlighted the results of therapeutic efficacystudies including updates on molecular markers for drug resistance, showing that the1st-line artemisinin-based combinations therapies (ACT) in all countries are currentlyeffective against both P. falciparum and P. vivax malaria; countries to further strengthenmalaria microscopy QA; and adopt iDES for monitoring of malaria drug efficacy in areaswith low malaria cases as part of the programme's elimination surveillance activities.Also discussed were workplans for continuing studies over the next two years. | |
