Epidemic malaria is the cause of up to 12 million malaria episodes and between 155,000 and 310,000 deaths per year among people of all ages in Africa alone.

3. Calls upon the international community to continue to support the Roll Back Malaria partner organizations, including the World Health Organization and the United Nations Children's Fund, as vital complementary sources of support for the efforts of malaria endemic countries to combat the disease

Yearly economic losses in Africa due to malaria are about 12 billion, which accounts for a 1.3 per cent annual loss in gross domestic product growth in endemic countries.

Malaria is endemic in three quarters of the country's land mass, and about two thirds of the population is at risk of infection.

5. Urges malaria endemic countries to work towards financial sustainability, to increase, to the extent possible, domestic resource allocation to malaria control and to create favourable conditions for working with the private sector in order to improve access to good quality malaria services

Acknowledging that it is important and necessary for countries where malaria is endemic to adopt appropriate strategies to combat malaria, one of the most deadly of all tropical diseases, which annually causes at least one million deaths in Africa, where nine out of every ten cases of malaria occur,

Integrated disease control

Many are dying because of all those kind of pandemics, HIV, malaria, poverty, not going to school.

3. Appeals to the international community to ensure increased support for bilateral and multilateral assistance to combat malaria, including support for the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, in order to assist in the development of sound national plans to control malaria in malaria endemic countries and their implementation in a sustained and equitable way that, inter alia, contributes to health system development

4. Appeals to the international community to work towards increased and sustained bilateral and multilateral assistance to combat malaria, including support for the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, in order to assist States, in particular malaria endemic countries, to implement sound national plans to control malaria in a sustained and equitable way that, inter alia, contributes to health system development

Appeals to the international community to ensure that the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria receives increased funding to support sound national plans to control malaria in endemic countries to be implemented in a sustained and equitable way that contributes to health system development

7. Urges malaria endemic countries to work towards financial sustainability, to increase, to the extent possible, domestic resource allocation to malaria control and to create favourable conditions for working with the private sector in order to improve access to good quality malaria services

Recognizing that malaria related ill health and deaths throughout the world can be eliminated with political commitment and commensurate resources if the public is educated and sensitized about malaria and appropriate health services are made available, particularly in countries where the disease is endemic,

Fifteen years!

8. Calls upon Member States, in particular malaria endemic countries, to establish and or strengthen national policies and operational plans, aspiring to ensure that at least 80 per cent of those at risk of or suffering from malaria may benefit from major preventive and curative interventions by 2010, in accordance with the technical recommendations of the World Health Organization, so as to ensure a reduction in the burden of malaria by at least 50 per cent by 2010 and 75 per cent by 2015

The point is, of course, if you want to know about malaria, you ask a malaria expert.

Further recognizing that malaria related ill health and deaths throughout the world can be eliminated with political commitment and commensurate resources if the public is educated and sensitized about malaria and appropriate health services are made available, particularly in countries where the disease is endemic,

17. Calls upon malaria endemic countries to encourage regional and intersectoral collaboration, both public and private, at all levels, especially in education, agriculture, economic development and the environment, to advance malaria control objectives

So malaria is a disease that kills you.

Also recognizing that malaria related ill health and deaths throughout the world can be substantially eliminated with political commitment and commensurate resources if the public is educated and sensitized about malaria and appropriate health services are made available, particularly in countries where the disease is endemic,

Of the cases reported in Guatemala, 95 per cent are caused by the type of malaria known as Plasmodium vivax and 5 per cent are due to Plasmodium falciparum.

24. Calls upon malaria endemic countries to encourage regional and intersectoral collaboration, both public and private, at all levels, especially in education, agriculture, economic development and the environment, to advance malaria control objectives

Both regions also face the pandemic of HIV AIDS and other communicable diseases, such as tuberculosis and malaria.

The fourth best problem is malaria dealing with malaria.
