Báo Lào CaiBáo Lào Cai02/06/2023


From May 25 to June 2, the working group of the Central Institute of Malaria, Parasitology and Entomology coordinated with the Lao Cai Provincial Center for Disease Control to conduct surveillance in a number of districts and communes in Lao Cai province during the peak malaria season. This is an activity under the Regional Initiative Project to Prevent and Eliminate Artemisinin-Resistant Malaria.

The delegation worked at the Bat Xat District Health Center, Sa Pa town and health stations in communes participating in the Regional Initiative for the Prevention and Elimination of Artemisinin-Resistant Malaria. This is an area with many epidemiological risk factors for malaria, such as outbreaks in previous years, the presence of disease vectors, and a large population movement.
