MALARIA CONTROL: BETTER HEALTH, BETTER FUTURE 2016 -ERADICATE MALARIA FOR GOOD

摘要

Following on from the World Malaria Day (WMD) celebration initiative and the subsequent commitment by SCI in 2015 (Nnankya & Matthews, 2015) to be part of the global millennium development goal to eradicate malaria, this year's theme is "Eradicate Malaria for Good". The millennium development goal is to decrease malaria by 90% by 2030. In spite of the encouraging decrease in malaria cases in certain areas (ALMA, 2016) this time frame is very ambitious, however efforts and support from the SCI international multidisci-plinary pool of expertise is a very realistic glimpse of hope towards contributing to the global efforts and commitments to alleviate the burdens of malaria.
