Malaria control among Myanmar migrants in Thailand: a qualitative study of healthcare providers
Ongoing political instability in Myanmar continues to drive a large and dynamic population of migrants into Thailand's border regions, sustaining malaria importation and complicating elimination efforts. Tailored, migrant-responsive strategies, such as mobile surveillance near border crossings, community-based follow-up mechanisms, and infrastructure improvements, are urgently needed to close coverage gaps and achieve malaria elimination by 2030.
