Since consolidating its position and assuring high quality of care in new program villages, the KDHW is once again scaling up its malaria program, with the goal of reaching its entire target population of 90,000 in the near future.

In addition, in 2007 GHAP began providing technical training and monitoring and evaluation expertise for malaria control programs organized by the Backpack Health Worker Team (BPHWT) and the Burma Medical Association (BMA). This will increase the combined target population of PC/GHAP affiliated malaria control programs in eastern Burma to over 250,000.

Planet Care/GHAP continues to evaluate with our local partners the most cost-effective way to reduce malaria transmission in the complex ecological and political environment of Burma. In addition to cheaper, high quality materials and antimalarials, PC/GHAP is exploring ways to bring our partners from each border together so that they might learn from each other and develop a network of Burma-border malaria control programs to share successes and leverage purchasing power and advocacy.

As in all our programs, we cover administrative expenses so that 100% of donations to the malaria program go directly to our partners and the implementation of effective life-saving interventions.
