The Ministry of Health (MoH) is pressing ahead with its plans to eliminate malaria by 2030.

A MoH release on Tuesday stated that Minister of Health, Dr Frank Anthony during a recent visit to Region Nine, had announced that the Ministry will be developing a comprehensive regional plan in 2025 to eliminate malaria in the region, in collaboration with Harvard University of the USA.

Anthony reminded that malaria remains a prevalent infectious disease in the area, and as such, requires urgent action.
