**6. Conclusion/call to action**

Emerging incurable malaria in the GMS is a grave public health threat. We call for targeted, immediate decisive action by international and host country governments to establish mission leadership, enough authority, respect, and expertise at each operational level. Security forces must be engaged. Commitment and a real sense of urgency will be most effectively achieved with a PHEIC. We call on the major donors (BMGF, United States Agency for International Development, ADB, the US military) and other philanthropists/donors to fulfill the need for efficient funding. In this chapter, we have proposed the methodology to achieve elimination of the nearly incurable malaria parasites "East of Bangkok" near the WHO target of 2020 [24]. With the currently available tools, each partially effective, but when used together with smart phone-based quality monitoring of appropriate use in the actual transmission areas—we believe the mission can be accomplished near the target date. We call for the critical actions, focusing resources to where they will have most impact to help prevent the next pandemic.
