The Greater Mekong Subregion Elimination of Malaria through Surveillance (GEMS+) program supports national malaria programs in Cambodia, Lao PDR, Myanmar, and Vietnam to integrate the private sector into national malaria elimination strategies, surveillance systems, planning, and management structures. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the initial phase of GEMS programming (2016 \u2013 2019), Population Services International (PSI) supported a diverse private sector network of 25,000 outlets to provide quality case management and timely case reporting into national health management information systems. Over four years, the PSI-supported network tested over 3.5 million suspected cases and detected nearly 100,000 malaria cases. In the final year of the program, the GEMS private sector network detected between 1.3% \u2013 18.7% of the national caseload in the four countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The GEMS+ program, a 3-year follow-on to GEMS, represents an ambitious investment with the primary objective of transitioning private sector malaria programs to government oversight by the end of 2022.<\/p>","protected":false},"template":"","meta":[],"related_countries":[1502,1555,1512,1534],"corporate_partners":[],"resource-type":[1869],"language":[339],"populations_served":[],"resource_year":[1966],"related_projects":[2006],"health-area":[2568,2567],"capabilities-and-cross-cutting":[],"class_list":["post-47871","publication","type-publication","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","related_countries-cambodia","related_countries-laos","related_countries-myanmar","related_countries-vietnam","resource-type-annual-reports","language-english","resource_year-1966","related_projects-gems","health-area-malaria","health-area-one-health"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t
