Bed nets are only one tool in the comprehensive solution to control malaria and a portion of each $10 gift supports MalariaMWISHO! overall work to control this deadly disease. Malaria is the most important tropical disease. It exerts a heavy toll of illness and death, especially among children and pregnant women. Regular assessment of the rural communities' malaria situation is a better strategy for early detection contaminant of prevention of epidemics. So is health education, better control tools and concerted action to limit the burden of the disease. Despite growing evidence of epidemiological and economic impact, the global response to the problem remains inadequate. Lack of financial support retards capacity development for prevention, treatment, and research in most developing countries. The influence of global economic factors on this chronic disease risks impedes progress, as does the orientation of health systems toward acute care. Malaria is both a preventable and treatable disease. It can be prevented by giving families and individuals insecticide-treated bed nets to sleep under and taking steps to kill mosquitoes where they breed and when they enter houses to feed at night.At the same time, anti-malarial drugs such as artemisinin and other combination therapies that are widely available can treat malaria before it becomes deadly. Malaria has been brought under control and even eliminated in many parts of the world . Yet in Africa, with increasing drug resistance and struggling health systems, malaria infections have actually increased during the last three decades. |
