The World Health Organization (WHO) certified China free of malaria on 30 June 2021.
China is the first country in the Western Pacific Region to eliminate malaria in more than 3 decades. The country had more than 30 million cases a year in the 1940s but numbers fell after a malaria control programme began in the 1950s. No cases were recorded in the four years leading up to 2020.
