The China Africa Project posted on 18 September 2020 a report titled "Combatting Malaria in the Comoros Islands: How China Almost Got It Right" by Esther Ejiroghene Ajari, director of The TriHealthon, a youth-led nonprofit promoting health equity in Africa.
Seven years after beginning a project to eliminate malaria from the three islands comprising the Comoro Islands, Moheli and Anjouan have been declared malaria-free. The project is ongoing on Grand Comore. The project is widely regarded as China's most successful health project in Africa. There has been a controversy over the medication, Artequick, used to eliminate malaria. Although approved by health agencies in China and the Comoros, it has not yet received certification by the World Health Organization.
