Global efforts to curb malaria are stalling after a drop in funds to buy bed nets, according to the latest report wednesday from the world health organization.
The funding for the fight against malaria has been reducing since the past three years. If the number of bed net reduce to much, many more people will lost their lives.
“Victory over this ancient foe is still a long way off,” WHO Director-General Dr. Margaret Chan wrote in the report. WHO says it has less than half of the $5.1 billion it needs for its malaria efforts.
Last month, the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, a leading international donor, temporarily stopped buying bed nets from the two top manufacturers after a corruption scandal.
Please lets not stop helping to fight against this deadly disease. "YES WE CAN"://www.washingtonpost.com/
