[European region program--"Roll Back Malaria": its results and prospects for its control].
The WHO has committed itself to an intensive response to the burden of malaria and, by 1999, had developed a regional strategy as to Roll Back Malaria (RBM) program in the affected countries of the European Region. This strategy is presently being implemented on the ground. Malaria was on the agenda of the recent 52nd Session of the Regional Committee for Europe; and the regional resolution "Scaling up the response to malaria in the WHO European Region" was endorsed by all member states. This paper discusses the progress with RBM in the region and the results achieved and challenges to be addressed in the years ahead.
