National Malaria Elimination Program Epidemiologist Busiku Amainza says Southern African countries including Zambia have seen drastic declines in malaria cases in 2017.

Dr. Amainza has told QTV News in an interview that the countries have made steady progress in conducting research towards malaria prevention in the southern region.

Dr. Amainza however states that countries in the southern region should be very careful as the declines may not be permanent.

He however states that Zambia as a country is doing well in malaria prevention but should not lose focus until total elimination of the epidemic is achieved.

Dr. Amainza has since advised government to invest more in more research mechanisms to mitigate any more chances of the  epidemic.
