title: [The tasks to maintain the achieved results of malaria elimination in the post-elimination period].
abstract: The experience of the countries who have achieved malaria elimination on their territories suggests that the main tasks of a malaria program in the post-elimination period are as follows: to maintain healthcare workers' alertness for possible malaria importation from outside and for a risk of its renewed transmission in the malaria-free area; to preserve the medical staff and to improve its professional skills in malaria diagnosis, treatment, and prevention in both the public and private sectors; to maintain malaria alertness among the population, among higher-risk population groups in particular; to elaborate and implement an effective program for collaboration with neighboring malaria-endemic countries, in the boundary regions in particular. The national governments' determination to continue long-term financial support of the prevention program of malaria in its elimination period is the guarantee of successful solution of the tasks set.
