Some Good Signal for Malaria - Still Keep Prevention

 
According to the article "Mission to defeat malaria for good" from Telegraph on 14 September 2011, the amount of malaria deaths went down 38% worldwide. Around 50 percentages  of malaria cases were reduced in 43 countries, including 11 in Africa. A campaign's director emphasized mission that by 2015, there is no death from malaria, specially in poor companies.The World Health Organization reported good signal about the success of three nations - Morocco, Turkmenistan, the UAE - in totally deleting malaria. Moreover, 26 countries are reducing the number of malaria patients, specially young children and pregnant women. The cost of $US12 billion ($A11.65 billion) spent annually for malaria might be a large amount of money. Instead of that, this amount could help millions of the poor in the world.

This "malaria" matter is always received the concern from famous and charity organizations Bill Gate from Microsoft, Bono from U2. The provided positive  solutions are 'bed nets, indoor spraying, improved diagnosis and treatment, preventative measures for pregnant women and development of new vaccines' (Telegraph 2011). In two years, 40 million bed nets were distributed to Nigeria as a financial support.

Coll-Seck strongly announced as a future mission 'A malaria-free world is possible for the new generation'. Belief and Hope of a world "malaria-free" in the present and future will be built by more than 500 current organizations (including public and private sectors). Could it become true or not? Maybe it depends on the widespread understanding about malaria and our contribution for our new generation.
