Malaria Epidemics: Forecasting, Prevention, Early Detection and Control: From Policy to Practice (Report of an informal consultation, Leysin, Switzerland, 8–10 December 2003)
Malaria epidemics are some of the most serious public health emergencies with which health officials are confronted. Typically, they occur with little or no warning and in areas where the health system is generally unprepared to deal with the problem. The most important factor in reducing the impact of an epidemic is a timely response in which effective control measures are undertaken as soon as the episode has been detected. This page offers the executive summary of the meeting report and a link to the full text.  (10/Dec/2003)
