Awareness For Malaria.

Good evening my wonderful friends on read cash is still your baby on reading cash and how was his day, I believe we had a wonderful day, so the day I will be talking about malaria since yesterday was world malaria day.

This article you're about to read isn't most completely my work but I would love you all to read and learn from it.

World Malaria Day is an annual observance held on April 25 to raise awareness of the global effort to control and ultimately eradicate malaria. World Malaria Day, which was first held in 2008, developed from Africa Malaria Day, an event that had been observed since 2001 by African governments. The observance served as a time to assess progress toward goals aimed at controlling malaria and reducing its mortality in African countries. In 2007, at the 60th session of the World Health Assembly (a meeting sponsored by the World Health Organization [WHO]), it was proposed that Africa Malaria Day be changed to World Malaria Day to recognize the existence of malaria in countries worldwide and to bring greater awareness to the global fight against the disease.

Malaria exists in more than 100 countries worldwide, and some 900,000 people die from the disease each year. However, malaria is preventable with the use of medicines and other precautionary measures, such as insecticide-treated bed nets and indoor insecticide spraying. On the first World Malaria Day the secretary-general of the United Nations, Ban Ki-moon, emphasized the need to increase the availability of bed nets, medicines, public health facilities, and trained health workers to people in areas of the world affected by malaria. Ban challenged global initiative programs, such as the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the Roll Back Malaria Partnership, and the Global Fund for AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria, by stating that he expected such universal access to be in place by the end of 2010.

Ban’s call for action prompted the formation of the Global Malaria Action Plan (GMAP), an aggressive unified strategy designed to reduce the incidence of malaria worldwide. The three components of this strategy are control, elimination, and research. Research to develop new drugs and new approaches to prevention is fundamental to efforts aimed at first controlling and then eliminating malaria from areas severely affected by the disease. The long-term goal of the plan was the global eradication of the disease by 2015. However, progress toward this goal slowed significantly because of inadequate funding and health care, particularly in difficult-to-reach areas, which had the highest proportion of cases. By 2019, infection rates in places with the greatest malaria burden remain largely unchanged, and an analysis of global trends in malaria incidence suggested that eradication could be achieved by 2050.

Africa is one of the breeding grounds for mosquitoes, I don't know of other countries but my country (Nigeria) especially Lagos state, due to the still water in most of the drainage, is has served as a breeding place for mosquitoes, research has it that 80% population living in lagos are malaria positive.

When a patient is taken to the hospital for check up, the first test to be conducted is malaria test and some others, before the invention of drugs to battle the malaria disease, many people have lost their lives to this easily cure disease, with inventions and evolution of the human race, scientist has been able to come out with a good and reliable solution to the treatment of malaria.

Chloroquine is one of the best drugs that were developed for malaria, Every person, every race age group, and nationality can use it. The only side effect is hitched which we can control with other antidotes, but is the best drug we can use, but because of it side effects, many people have negative comments on the use of the medicine.

A tablet of chloroquine should be 200mg, but because of corruption, wickedness, and greed, people produce ordinary chalk of the tablet at 50mg but they will write 200mg, so these things make the parasite to be resistance, when you use the medicine, it no longer have any positive effects.

With more evolution, new drugs have been produce to combat malaria, like lumtem, amtem, and other "tem" that there are.

How to prevent malaria

We have external and internal

For the internal: Use of mosquito net

Windows nets

Using insecticide

For the external ;

Eradication of the Bush area

Clearing drainage

Please this is to remind us to take good care of our families and also create more awareness to let people know that malaria kills. Thanks, and have a lovely day.
