Journal Article
Elimination Meets Reality in Hispaniola
2010
Overview
Hispaniola's fledging program to eliminate malaria, now sidetracked by the earthquake, illustrates the difficulties that arise when ambitious goals collide with reality. There is absolutely no reason for malaria to persist on the island of Hispaniola, given that all the other islands in the Caribbean have rid themselves of this mosquito-borne disease. And the Dominican Republic, which shares the island with Haiti, has driven cases to remarkably low levels. By many counts, the country is well on the path to elimination, its stated aim. But it can't get there unless Haiti, where malaria is rife, achieves the same goal. Hispaniola's fledging program to eliminate malaria, now sidetracked by the earthquake, illustrates the difficulties that arise when ambitious goals collide with reality.
