It has been shown that, as malaria problems differ, not only in different countries, but also in different localities of the same country, the modus operandi of malaria control in the Philippines should be basically adaptable to its inherent conditions, and made specifically applicable to malarious localities of varying characteristicsThis mode of approach in the control of the dreadful disease should cover malaria investigation and survey, the planning of malaria control and relief measures according to the data gathered, the operation in accordance with the plans laid down, and the evaluation of results through appropriate malariometrical observations. In other words, this is a matter of scientific study of the malaria problems, plans for their solutions pursuant to the scientific study, actions according to plans, and appraisal of measured results to warrant a successful termination.
