The overall objective of this approach is to accelerate efforts toward malaria elimination by increasing
access to early diagnosis and treatment.
The specific objectives are to:
Minimize the barriers that the population faces in accessing timely, quality diagnosis and treatment.
Reduce the time between diagnosis and the start of treatment.
Reduce the parasite reservoir in symptomatic infected persons through early treatment.
Maximize the transmission-blocking strategy by taking early action on gametocytes.
Decrease the incidence of P. vivax relapses.
Ultimately, disrupt malaria transmission and prevent mortalit.
