A STUDY ON MALARIA CONTROL ACTIVITIES AMONG MIGRANT WORKERS (A CASE STUDY OF KYAIKTO TOWNSHIP) (Pyae Phyo Htoon, 2019) Pyae Phyo Htoon (EMPA - 55) This study was conducted to assess malaria situation among migrant workers working in the private sectors and to identify the needs to strengthen malaria control activities for migrant workers. The study was conducted with desk review of secondary data and qualitative interviews with interview guide in the field. Purposive sampling is conducted for the primary research and consists of 18 key informant interviews with business leaders and governmental and private sector key actors. The malaria risk is highest among the workers of rubber plantation and gold mine due to their timing of working hours, working place, seasonal pattern of work, high number of migrant workers, not getting enough preventive, diagnostic and treatment measures. Among these two types of high risk workers, the workers from gold mines show higher risk than those of rubber plantation because predominantly migrant population, high mobility of its workforce, hard-to reach area and site of work closed to forest and seasonal pattern of work nature. Another challenge is that the total numbers of its workforce is not only unknown but also unrecognized. 2019-08-01 http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12678/0000001456 https://meral.edu.mm/records/1456
