Treating Plasmodium vivax malaria in Colombia

In Colombia, a pilot implementation of G6PD testing has started in four health facilities in Quibdó (Chocó). This initiative builds upon the positive outcomes of the Pilot Educational Program (PEP) on G6PD testing in the country. The pilot implementation applies the tested methodology and materials from the PEP in real-world settings, aiming to provide evidence to the Ministry of Health on its use in Plasmodium vivax case management. Lina Zuluaga, the Coordinator from the University of Antioquia, explained the significance of the program and the pivotal role played by the pilot implementation in paving the way for the introduction of new malaria treatment schemes.

Treating Plasmodium vivax malaria in Brazil

As of June 6, 2023, Brazil marked a significant milestone by becoming the first malaria-endemic country to incorporate single-dose tafenoquine and the STANDARD (TM) G6PD test for P. vivax malaria. Following the decision by the Unified Health System's National Commission of New Health Technologies Incorporation (CONITEC) to adopt this innovative treatment, Brazil's Ministry of Health is now leading technical discussions to plan and prepare the health system for nationwide implementation. Dr Marcus Lacerda, the Principal Investigator of the Tafenoquine Roll-oUt STudy (TRuST) study, which generated crucial evidence to inform CONITEC’s decision, highlighted the significance of these new tools for Brazil, particularly their impact on the most at-risk populations.
