Meeting CMPE to discuss next phase of project in Laos
Laos has made enormous progress towards malaria elimination and is on track to eliminate malaria by 2030. In the next phase, GenRe-Mekong hopes to support CMPE to integrate genetic surveillance into their elimination activities, and will work towards bringing the sequencing in country as CMPE have a new molecular laboratory facility built with support from the Australian government.

GenRe-Mekong Team Visits Partner Sites in Southern Laos
The GenRe-Mekong team visited 63 partner sites in Savannakhet, Salavan, Sekong, Attapue, and Champasak provinces in southern Laos. The purpose was to strengthen partnerships and provide retraining on collection of dried blood samples for antimalarial resistance analysis. Retraining was essential to maintain high standards with new healthcare professionals and sites.
