Based on the latest data from the Indonesian Ministry of Health, malaria remains a serious public health challenge. As of May 2025, a total of 456,764 people have been tested, with 59,610 confirmed positive for malaria. Of those, 41,222 patients have received standard treatment in accordance with applicable medical procedures. Unfortunately, 7 deaths have been recorded.

These figures highlight the importance of prevention efforts, early detection, and timely treatment to reduce the spread of malaria. Various parties, including the Perdhaki Malaria Program, continue to play a role in raising public awareness through education and ensuring access to healthcare services in malaria-affected areas.

In the effort to combat malaria, which remains a major challenge in various regions of Indonesia, the Perdhaki Malaria Program adopts a community-based approach through the “ABC” concept, which includes Advocacy (A), Behavior Change Communication (B), and Community Empowerment (C). This strategy reflects the active role of the Perdhaki Malaria Program in ensuring that malaria management is not only the responsibility of medical personnel or the government but also involves active community participation. Through advocacy, the Perdhaki Malaria Program encourages the involvement of various parties, ranging from local governments, religious institutions, to community leaders, to be more concerned and contribute to malaria prevention and control efforts. The advocacy activities aim to create broad support for policies and programs that favor strengthening malaria prevention efforts at the community level.

Moreover, this strategy also emphasizes the importance of changing individual and environmental behaviors through effective communication. Education and discussions in villages, communities, and schools become integral parts of delivering health messages related to malaria. This is followed by community empowerment, where the Perdhaki Malaria Program instills the idea that the community has the potential and responsibility to participate in the movement against malaria. This empowerment is realized through cadre training, capacity building for residents, and the establishment of community-based monitoring systems aimed at creating self-reliance in maintaining a malaria-free environment. By integrating these three approaches synergistically, the ABC strategy of the Perdhaki Malaria Program becomes a relevant and impactful social intervention model for the sustainable eradication of malaria.
