The Pan-African Mosquito Control Association (PAMCA) is a professional body that brings together stakeholders in the field of mosquito vectors and vector-borne diseases control including scientists, public health professionals, vector control specialists, commercial partners dealing with mosquito control products, affected communities and other stakeholders, including students to work together and adopt best practices for the control and elimination of vector-borne diseases in Africa and worldwide.
“Harnessing efforts from academia, research, public and private institutions for effective vector control in Ghana”
The Ghana Chapter is organizing its maiden conference to share ideas and harness efforts from all partners for effective management of arthropods and arthropod-borne diseases in our country.
This conference will catalyze knowledge dissemination, foster collaboration, and drive advancements in various fields as we seek to harness efforts from various fields to support prevention, control and elimination of arthropod-borne diseases such as malaria and arboviral diseases.
We are inviting researchers, scholars, industry players, policy makers, public health practitioners, students and other partners to contribute their work, share insights, and engage in meaningful dialogue duirng this conference and beyond.
We expect to showcase innovative research findings, groundbreaking ideas, and insightful perspectives, novel product dissemination and exhibitions.
