There is no room for malaria in Myanmar. Health expert Valerio Reggi shares Myanmar's moves to eliminate the disease.

ADB is helping to strengthen Myanmar's regulatory capacity; ensure effective assessments of medicines; and  reduce the risk of substandard and falsified medicines, particularly anti-malarial drugs infiltrating the country's pharmaceutical supply chain. Through the Regional Malaria Trust Fund, ADB provides support to Myanmar’s Food and Drug Administration. WHO's Valerio Reggi occupied different positions in the areas of drug regulation and access to medicines for neglected tropical diseases until he retired at the end of 2011. He is currently a freelance consultant.
