Malaria constitutes a major threat to public health worldwide. In Bolivia, it affects 7 departments, with particular impact on the Amazon: Riberalta and Guayaramerín, where 98% of positive cases are concentrated. Objective. To develop a surveillance and epidemiological control program to prevent cases of malaria in the department of Beni, management 2020. Materials and methods. Descriptive, retrospective and quasi-experimental research, a documentary review was carried out on a population of 399 people. Results. In 2018 there was 21.1% of malaria, in 2019 10.9% were detected and in 2020 14.0%, of the total positive cases of this last year, 90.4% correspond to P. vivax and 9.6% to P. falciparum. The year 2020 is where the highest number of positive cases is observed. The most affected age group is between 11 and 30 years, with the highest percentage of positive cases in the Riberalta population. Conclusions. The percentage of malaria infections is high, which is why a regional malaria surveillance and control plan is proposed, it has the characteristics of: methods of diagnosis, treatment and prevention of the disease, elimination of vector breeding sites ( mosquitoes), epidemiological surveillance, intervention in inaccessible areas of the Amazon considered endemic, in order to extend diagnostic capacity and finally train the population for timely diagnosis, the same that will allow to reduce positive malaria cases in the population of the Amazon areas: Riberalta and Guayaramerín.
