Abstract
Malaria was once one of the most severe public health problems in China. However, after 70 years of integrated interventions, substantial progress has been made, and remarkable milestones have been met in malaria elimination in China. On June 30th, 2021, China was officially certified as a malaria-free country by the World Health Organization. This paper highlights the achievements of, and lessons learned from the malaria elimination programme.

The world still faces great challenges in fighting against the scourge of malaria
In 2019, 87 countries reported a total of 229 million malaria cases worldwide, representing an increase of 1 million cases over the previous year, while the number of malaria deaths reached 409,000 [1]
The China-UK-Tanzania malaria pilot project has aimed to improve malaria diagnosis, reporting, treatment, and tracking on the basis of the 1-3-7 approach and surveillance systems, and has explored a 1,7-mRCTR model for effectively reducing local malaria disease burden. This is one example of integrating the knowledge and lessons learned from the malaria control and elimination programme in pilot areas [21,22].Through international cooperation, the goal of malaria elimination can be achieved in other countries and regions
