Sustainable Malaria Control

Malaria kills a child every 30 seconds, with over 90 per cent of the deaths occurring in sub-Saharan Africa. he global community is finally responding to the problem of malaria. After years of neglect, new resources are pouring into Africa to distribute bednets and provide better health care for malaria victims. However, communities and health professionals in Africa are concerned about one of the more controversial malaria control tools - spraying the infamous pesticide DDT inside peoples homes. In the 1970s DDT was phased out in many countries due to concerns for human health and the environment.
