World Malaria Day is being observed today. The aim to observe the occasion....is to provide education and understanding of malaria as a global scourge that is preventable...and a disease that is curable.
To mark the occasion, the World Health Organization is calling for high-level commitment to the vision of a world...free of malaria. The theme is Invest in the future: Defeat malaria....This reflects the ambitious goals and targets set out in a draft post-2015 strategy to be presented to the World Health Assembly in May.
The new strategy aims to reduce malaria cases and deaths by 90% by 2030 from current levels....Four countries have been certified free of malaria in the last decade...and the post-2015 strategy sets the goal of eliminating the disease...from a further 35 countries by 2030.
