Abstract:
As one of the most serious global public health concerns, malaria is highly prevalent in Africa and has severely hindered local social and economic developments. Anti-malaria aid underpinned by artemisinin has emerged as an iconic practice of China’s engagement in global health governance in the context of evolving global health governance, which continuously exerts its distinctive impact. The Artemisinin Anti-Malaria Team at Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine is dedicated to safeguarding global health, committed to transforming artemisinin, a precious gift of traditional Chinese medicine to the world, into tangible impetus for malaria elimination. At the convergence of the China-Africa Year of People-to-People Exchanges and World Malaria Day, a review of China-Africa health cooperation is of specific significance. Based on the practices of international anti-malaria projects led by the Artemisinin Anti-Malaria Team at Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine, this paper systematically summarizes the theoretical innovations, practical values and humanistic core of China’s anti-malaria approaches, and analyzes the core challenges in global malaria elimination programmes in the new era.
