Members of the #PNG National COVID-19 Response recently visited @pngimr to gain a better appreciation of laboratory testing for COVID-19. Over 12,000 specimens have been tested in our laboratories, and we remain a key partner in the national response.

Crucial research into the potential of expanding a much needed arsenal of #malaria vector control tools in #PNG and the Western Pacific region. Led by Rebecca Vinit and A/Prof Karl @StephanKarl4 of @pngimr and @AITropHealthMed @jcu
New research from AITHM's Rebecca Vinit and Stephan Karl is exploring how indoor residual spraying can help protect communities in PNG from malaria — by treating household surfaces to stop mosquitos in their tracks🦟

ALT Quote from Dr Lucy Ninmongo John, Manager, Disease Control and Surveillance Branch, National Department of Health, Papua New Guinea: "Ending malaria is a long-term investment for the health and well-being of all, including adolescent girls, expectant mothers, and all our sisters. We must gather new and existing resources locally, nationally, and globally to ensure nobody is left behind."

The world is losing its fight against malaria. And a single business decision taken more than 10 years ago has made things worse.

Key stakeholders met in POM to discuss the development of a PNG Vector Control Network. The VCN brings together national, public, private NGO and research partners to coordinate, share knowledge, identify opportunities and advocate for greater investments in vector control in PNG
Almost a month since #ASTMH2023 in Chicago, USA. Grateful for a @ASTMH travel award and the opportunity to see and listen to very exciting progress in the advancement of reducing malaria and tropical diseases. 📸LReimer.

Vector control tools have contributed substantially to reductions in the burden of malaria over the last 15 years by minimising the number of mosquitoes biting humans. In PNG, the only vector control tool being used is long lasting insecticidal nets.
ALT LLINs alone will not lead to malaria elimination. Scientific officer Kilon Manuv told the 57th PNG Medical Symposium that a PNGIMR project is investigating if new vector control tools are acceptable to communities and the health systems.
