We Can End Malaria
06/21/2011
Check out this new infographic from the Gates Foundation and tell us how you're stopping malaria in its tracks.
An interactive info-graphic from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation in collaboration with the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health and Roll Back Malaria shows how many lives can be saved by increasing interventions from 2010-2015.
We want to know what programs your organizations have used to control malaria around the world. Tell us what has worked and what you'd like to improve in the long-term fight to eradicate the disease.

Why not! Any thing is possible if we have conviction, commitment and sincerity to achieve the goal. These heaps are growing with increasing population.
I can show my real work in the field and show you how you can achieve success in the control of malaria.
Mind you, malaria is a local focal disease dependent on many factors. Concentrate on high risk areas - may be only 4 - 10 % of the entire population but responsible for 60 - 70 % of malaria and complications. Drug resistance is over depicted, bad combinations are advocated or used. I have data of at least 20 years from Karnataka, India where I spent most of my time, including drug sensitivity studies. We are good at blowing out our resources. Actually we only require proper planning. All programme managers are not technically very good and committed.
