The Elimination 8 program in Livingstone and Sesheke Districts seeks to eliminate Malaria
A coordinated approach to achieving elimination of malaria in southern Africa has been developed by the Ministers of Health from 8 SADC countries using Regional level intelligence. The Elimination 8 project strategy is to create buffers of robust malaria control in malaria case hotspots around country borders and to limit parasite reservoirs around border areas, to stop transmission to other people and to neighboring countries. The SADC countries goal is that South Africa, Swaziland, Botswana and Nambia will achieve elimination of Malaria in 2020, and Zambia, Zimbabwe and Mozambique in 2030.
