National Malaria Control Programme (NMCP)

As a low malaria transmission country, Swaziland is among the four Southern African countries identified by the African Union (AU) Health Ministers and the Southern African Development Community (SADC) to be able to achieve malaria elimination. Malaria elimination is a top priority in the national development agenda and the national health policy. In April 2011, Cabinet approved a national elimination policy, a document outlining the guiding principles necessary to achieve elimination. The government financial commitment has sustained large scale programme implementation over the years.
