Malaria is preventable, BUT

Malaria is treatable, but anti-malarial drugs are often not available in those African communities affected by the disease. Therefore, prevention is the best way to deal with malaria. One of the best tools to prevent the spread of malaria is through distribution of mosquito bed nets. Mosquito bed nets will reduce the risk of people being bitten by mosquitoes while sleeping at night. Therefore, prevention is the best way to combat malaria; it does not only just save lives but it also gives the country a chance to maintain its labour productivity.
