"""Thong Yim, 26, a recovered malaria patient, sits under a mosquito net in his house in Peam L'vear village in Cambodia on 29 January 2021. In 2020, men constituted 81% of all malaria cases in Cambodia.   Kampong Speu province is located in one of Cambodia's malaria hotspots. Malaria work in the province can be challenging due to high levels of multidrug resistance and the remaining infections predominantly coming from remote forested areas. Cambodia has been the infamous epicentre of resistance to various artemisinin-based combined therapies (ACTs) –the most effective treatment for malaria. In 2017, Cambodia's National Center for Parasitology, Entomology and Malaria Control (CNM) launched a malaria intensification to deplete parasite reservoirs in high-risk populations by deploying technical support to provinces, strengthening coordination, and ensuring the full implementation of malaria interventions. Since then, Cambodia has reached historically low malaria incidence levels. In November 2020 the CNM launched the last stage of its intensification plan, a focalized aggressive approach to eliminate P. falciparum malaria by 2023. In Cambodia, this approach is known as the """"last mile"""" of malaria elimination. The response is part of a broader initiative supported by WHO's Mekong Malaria Elimination programme to eliminate malaria in the Greater Mekong subregion by 2030."""
