Of the 559 malaria confirmed cases reported in 2019, a total of 485(86.8%) were indigenous cases, 74(13.2%) were imported cases. which accounted for 93%(520) of all patients occurring between May and October, 2019. Among the indigenous cases, persumptive infected region were investigated from Gyeonggi province 314(64.7%), Incheon province 98(20.2%), Gangwon Province 25(5.2%) and 48(9.9%) was unknown.
226 persons(46.6%) was aged 20s to 30s; 389(80.2%) were male, 96(19.8%) were female. Of them, 364 cases(75.1%)

The main goals in 2019 under the five-year plan to eliminate malaria were to add diagnostic criteria for rapid diagnosis of infectious diseases, strengthen patient management by changing the amount of therapeutic agents per weight, and monitor the media through the expansion of each vector control and surveillance and protozoal infection rate. In addition, to expand research and development, the goal was to strengthen control, develop a discrimination diagnosis method for patients with recurrence and long-term incubation period, and conduct research on drug treatment monitoring for patients with malaria. Furthermore, as a result of the project, education and R&D were expanded to strengthen the medical-military cooperation system.
