Evaluating Thailand’s malaria reactive surveillance and response strategies for malaria elimination: a mixed-method study
The overall implementation of RASR activities was reported to be timely except for malaria case notification and focus response activities in border areas. Despite good acceptability towards RASR activities, the 1-3-7 strategy is not a one-size-fits-all approach; its feasibility for implementation depends on health system capacity and malaria incidence of the area. There are still several challenges to be addressed particularly for successful implementation of RASR activities for cross-border malaria.
