Notable speeches from MOH Seychelles Marie-Pierre Lloyd, stressed the importance of the public-private partnership embodied by RBM and attributed the good malaria control results achieved in the region to the effectiveness of the South African Sub-Regional Network (SARN).
Hon Minister Lloyd specifically acknowledged the success of those countries in their efforts to reach elimination, and championed all SADC countries for securing sufficient resources to reach Universal Coverage by 2010. The Global Fund Round 9 announcement made the previous week, confirmed successful proposals for Malawi and Mozambique. SADC Health Ministers adopted 2010-2011 SARN work- plan for the region.
