Previewing inaugural Malaria Policy Advisory Committee

The Malaria Policy Advisory Committee, convened by the WHO Global Malaria Programme and composed of 15 malaria experts, will hold its first meeting January 31 through February 2 in Geneva, according to this article in Malaria Journal, which is a prelude to a series on the group's policy recommendations and supporting evidence that will be published following each biannual meeting. The article also "provides the global malaria community with the background and overview of the Committee and its terms of reference," the article summary states (D'Souza/Newman, 1/27).
