An evaluation of the malaria control activity in 2000 has shown that the malaria control activity has obtained some achievements including no big outbreak, reduction of morbidity number and mortality number to 50% and 60%, respectively when comparing with these in 1995. This paper presented some shortcoming such as the high morbidity and mortality, malaria in the central highland, limited diagnosis, treatment, education and communication in the local level, especially in remote areas as well as unstable equipment and material

In past ten years, the socialized activity has contributed an important part in improving the malaria situation of VietNam, with remarkable achievements are: after 10 years (1991-2000), the malaria mortality reduced by 96.8%, malaria incidence reduced by 73%. Malaria outbreaks reduced by 98.6% and many locals have created sustainable factors to maintain the result of malaria control

Background: Monitoring antimalarial drug quality should be conducted regularly in locals to enhance the effect of treatment for malaria \r\n', u'Objective: to study and analyze antimalarial drug quality\r\n', u'Subjects and methods: The study was carried out in 2007 for 5 provinces supported by the Global Fund: Ha Giang, Dien Bien, Thanh Hoa, Quang Tri and Gia Lai. Material were malaria drugs: artesunat, chloroquin, quinine, mefloquin, fansidar\u2026etc\r\n', u'Results and conclusion: The strict supervision on the anti-malarial drug quality by the National Malaria Control Program was very good and no substandard antimalarial drugs were detected. Evaluation of antimalarial drug quality and control was made for finding out the counterfeit drugs through sentinel sites in both private and public sectors. A total of 268 samples were collected, of which 13 samples were found substandard drugs (8 samples collected in private and 5 samples in public sectors). No counterfeit drugs were found. \r\n', u'
