Many guests have asked questions about Malaria in Sanya Hainan Island. I have checked with local doctors and would like to summery the following:

Question One: Is Malaria a problem in Sanya Hainan Island?

Answer: Not really. Only 1/5 of the total area where the altitude is over 1000 Meters is listed by WTO as the second dangerous place for Malaria. However, all the popular places visitors go are lower than 1000 Meters except some tropical rainforest.

Question two: Do I need to take special medicine before I visit Sanya Hainan Island?

Answer: Normally, it is not necessary unless you are coming for special purposes like hiking in the remote and primitive tropical rainforest over 1000 Meters, or you will stay a long time in the very remote countryside.

Question Three: Do I need to make special arrangement during my stay in Sanya Hainan Island?

Answer: Malaria infects Human Beiings by a very special mosquito called anopheles, which lives in the high mountains They live in the bushes along small rivers in very high mountains and are very sensitive to any pesticides. So it is hard for them to live in the areas where the local people use pesticides, not to see the urban areas.

Question: Are there special medicines in Hainan to cure Malaria?

Answer: Yes. Don't worry, the Only Tropical Disease and Medicine Research Institute is Hainan Island.
