Malaria Control Policy Proposal: Using Chinese Experience to Tackle Malaria in Tanzania
Abstract
As one of the worst affected countries in the world, Tanzania has been fighting malaria with the help of foreign aid, but has never been eradicated. The report recommends that at a time when malaria cases in Africa are on the rise due to the pandemic outbreak and public health is once again in the international spotlight, the fight against malaria should be on the agenda. The report recommends the establishment of a malaria control pilot project in Tanzania to use China's experience in malaria control to reduce the incidence of malaria in the country. In order for the project to succeed, the report recommends that the project seek support from international foundations and Chinese antimalarial drug manufacturers, secure financial and drug resources, and keep the Tanzanian Ministry of Health happy, governments and malaria research institutions in the areas where the project is being implemented, and try to gain support from populations and hospitals in the areas where the project is being implemented, while monitoring local NGOs and the media. Make sure they don't object to the project.
