Insecticide Resistance is one of the most serious challenges facing malaria control & elimination in endemic countries across the world, a major contributor to the stall in progress in global malaria reduction. In this webinar we learnt about the challenges being faced in Papua New Guinea, shifts in vector behaviour arising from insecticide pressure, and also an example of insecticide resistance management. The insights were shared by experienced practitioners confronting these issues.
