Summary
Urges malaria-endemic countries to work towards financial sustainability; encourages all African countries that have not yet done so to implement the recommendations of the Abuja Summit in 2000 (A/55/240/Add.1) to reduce or waive taxes and tariffs for nets and other products needed for malaria control, both to reduce the price of the products to consumers and to stimulate free trade in those products; urges all Member States experiencing resistance to conventional monotherapies to replace them with combination therapies; calls upon the international community to support ways to expand access to and the affordability of key products; calls upon malaria-endemic countries to encourage regional and intersectoral collaboration; requests the Secretary-General to report to the General Assembly at its 63rd session on the implementation of the present resolution under the agenda item entitled "2001-2010: Decade to Roll Back Malaria in Developing Countries, Particularly in Africa".
