Malaria is DEADLY! There are around 1,000,000 deaths associated with malaria each; among them 85% are children at pre-school age. Malaria is EXPENSIVE! Malaria is estimated to decrease the economic growth by 1.3% around sub-Saharan Africa countries, which equals to 12,000,000,000 US dollars. For many countries in Africa, this slow down may lead to negative growth rate.
