Vector-borne diseases (VBDs), transmitted by mosquitoes, pose significant health risks. STRIVE strengthens health systems across Melanesia by supporting local partners in monitoring and responding to VBDs. Read more about @StrivePNG: burnet.edu.au/research/proje… #WorldMosquitoDay

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

Elias Omera presented his poster that provided an overview of NATNAT today at the RAM Global Malaria Congress. His presentation was a success with many great questions being asked.

“In spaces like this [#HSR2022] where we work and engage we must be very mindful we don’t distance ourselves from the realities on the ground. We need the voices of implementers in this space from the Pacific” - Dr Amerita Ravuvu. Inspiring closing plenary @ HSR2022!! @H_S_Global – at Bogotá, D.C., Colombia
Come visit us at #HSR2022. We would love to talk more about #VBD surveillance, meaningful #partnerships and using data for decision making in #PNG 🇵🇬🦟 @H_S_Global
Fabulous week in Port Moresby sharing knowledge and establishing novel molecular genomics sequencing capacity using MinION Nanopore technology at the #MolecularHub strengthening #malaria surveillance in PNG @pngimr @BurnetInstitute @Deakin
