Bù Gia Mập District

Bù Gia Mập is a rural district (huyện) of Bình Phước Province in the Southeast region of Vietnam.[1] It was established on 11 August 2009 on the land of Phước Long District remaining after the establishment of Phước Long town. At that time, it had a population of 147,967.

Bù Gia Mập has 18 communes: Đắk Ơ, Bù Gia Mập, Bình Thắng, Đức Hạnh, Đức Văn, Phú Nghĩa, Đa Kia, Phước Minh, Bình Tân, Bình Sơn, Long Bình, Phước Tân, Long Hưng, Bù Nho, Long Hà, Phú Riềng, Phú Trung and Long Tân.

The Thác Mơ Hydroelectric Power Plant is located in Đức Hạnh commune.[2]

Because resistance to malaria drugs has grown in the last decade, officials in Bù Gia Mập District now see little hope of eliminating malaria in that district.[3]
