ZANZIBAR is fully committed to work with development partners to make the Isles free from malaria by 2027, Health Minister Nassor Ahmed Mazrui, has vowed.

Mr Mazrui said the goal was intended to contain the problem in all parts of Tanzania so that citizens and visitors could no longer be worried about the disease.

Mr Mazrui spoke of the health goal during an official closing of the President’s Malaria Initiative (PMI) Impact Malaria and Okoa Maisha Dhibiti Malaria (OMDM)’ projects and the launching of ‘Tanzania Malaria Case Management (TMCM)’ project, which is a continuation of the anti-malaria campaign in the country.

“We have made tremendous and admirable achievements in the war against malaria, we thank our partners for the support. The 2022-2027 TMCM project will accelerate our struggle to make Zanzibar malaria free area, with great hope to extend to the mainland,” Mr Mazrui said.
