Malaria cases have declined by over 90% in Southeast Asia over the past decade. This seminar will examine the tools, strategies, and systems that enabled this progress, drawing on the Clinton Health Access Initiative's work with governments to build sustainable health systems, and explore how these lessons apply to Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs).
