Rolling back malaria in South Sudan: what have we missed?

Abstract

The First National Malaria Conference held in Juba from 8th – 10th November 2022 came at the right time to re-focus the efforts in the fight against malaria in the country (See story on page 37). The presence of H.E. Vice President Hussein Abdelbagi Akol Agany gave the conference the political support of the government in the fight against malaria. However, the recommendations fell short of the needs in the country.
