Monrovia, Liberia | February 23, 2026 — Remote Health Reach (RHR) participated in a pivotal meeting convened by the National Malaria Control Program (NMCP) to discuss and validate the Malaria Program Review Report — a critical step in shaping the country’s future malaria control strategy.
The meeting took place on Monday, February 23, 2026 at the Ministry of Health (MOH).
The meeting brought together key stakeholders, health experts, and implementing partners whose insights and expertise were essential to evaluating the effectiveness and relevance of current malaria prevention and treatment strategies. RHR was proud to be among the voices contributing to this important process.
A Milestone in the Fight Against Malaria
The validation of the Malaria Program Review Report marks a significant milestone in the national health agenda. The findings outlined in the report will serve as the foundation for the development of a new National Malaria Strategic Plan — a mandatory prerequisite for the country to apply for the Global Fund Grant Cycle 8, expected later this year.
The meeting featured a comprehensive overview of the report’s key findings, followed by an open group discussion that gathered feedback and recommendations from all participating stakeholders.
RHR’s Commitment
Remote Health Reach remains firmly committed to supporting efforts that strengthen health systems and improve access to quality care, particularly in underserved and hard-to-reach communities. RHR’s participation in forums such as this reflects the organization’s dedication to evidence-based policy development and collaborative action in the fight against malaria.
“Our collective input at this stage is vital,” Elijah S. Tingban, Executive Director of RHR. “The strategies we helped shape today will directly influence how malaria prevention and treatment are delivered to the communities that need it most.”
Why This Matters
Malaria continues to be one of the leading causes of illness and death in many communities across the country. A well-informed, rigorously reviewed strategic plan — backed by data and stakeholder consensus — is essential to securing the funding and implementing the interventions needed to reduce the burden of the disease.
The Global Fund Grant Cycle 8 represents a significant funding opportunity, and the successful completion of this review process is a key step toward the country’s eligibility.
Remote Health Reach is committed to continuing its meaningful contribution to the development of a robust National Malaria Strategic Plan that reflects the realities faced by frontline communities.
