The Ministry of Health has confirmed two additional cases of malaria in the same geographic location in South Trinidad where five cases were previously reported. This brings the total number of confirmed malaria cases for 2025 to seven.
According to a release from the Ministry of Health, the newly identified cases were detected through ongoing enhanced surveillance efforts, led by the Insect Vector Control Division (IVCD). These activities are part of the Ministry’s broader protocols for the prevention and control of malaria.
The Ministry stated that malaria is not endemic to Trinidad and Tobago. Between 2015 and 2024, there were 153 confirmed cases nationwide—an average of 15 cases per year—most of which were imported or introduced.
