Discourse on malaria elimination: where do forcibly displaced persons fit in these discussions?
Individuals forcibly displaced are some of the poorest people in the world, living in areas where infrastructure and services are at a bare minimum. Out of a total of 10,549,686 refugees protected and assisted by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees globally, 6,917,496 (65.6%) live in areas where malaria is transmitted. Historically, national malaria control programmes have excluded displaced populations. ⋯ Until equitable and sustainable malaria control includes everyone residing in an endemic area, the goal of malaria elimination will not be met.
