Asia-Pacific Regional Centre - Thailand

Artemisinin resistance is firmly established in many parts of Southeast Asia and threatens the lives of millions of people. To improve regional intelligence and aid containment efforts, the WWARN Asia-Pacific Regional Network promotes the collection of high quality data on malaria drug resistance. We facilitate the use of WWARN’s research and data analysis tools to simplify and harmonise data, securely store results and analyse comparative or collective pooled analyses.
