Abstract:

The Chinese government has made a commitment to eliminate malaria by 2020. However, there are still autochthonous malaria cases in border areas of Yunnan Province with intense population flow. Therefore, malaria elimination by 2020 is rather challenging in the province. Here, we analyze the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats (SWOT) of the action of malaria elimination program carried out by the Yunnan institute of parasitic diseases(YIPD), and raise some targeting strategies accordingly, in order to provide reference for effective elimination of malaria in Yunnan Province.

Key words: Yunnan Province, Malaria elimination, SWOT analysis
