This video presents the training program in malaria control that was recently completed by a group of eight young professionals from the Ministry of Health and Social Welfare (MOHSW) of Equatorial Guinea. This program was part of the capacity-building initiative implemented by Medical Care Development International, through its Bioko Island Malaria Control Project (BIMCP), that seeks to gradually enable the MOHSW to manage a full range of malaria control interventions. It was made possible with the financial support of Marathon Oil Corporation and its partners the Ministry of Mines, Industry and Energy; Noble Energy; Sonagas; and Atlantic Methanol. The training program took place at the National Institute of Public Health in Mexico, Cayetano Heredia University in Peru, and the School for International Training in Vermont. The trainees have returned to Equatorial Guinea and are now receiving in-service training at the BIMCP from a team of expatriate malaria control experts. A plan is being developed to gradually transfer technical and managerial responsibility for the project to the Equatoguinean trainees.
