Malaria

 

Malaria kills more than a million people worldwide a year. 90% of those who die are African children.

In sub-saharan Africa, two of five children in a family will not live to see their 5th birthday.

 

Malaria is a mosquito-borne disease caused by a parasite. People with this disease often experience fever, chills and flu-like symptoms. Left untreated, individuals with malaria can develop severe complications and die. This disease can be prevented and cured through the use of bed nets, insecticides and anti-malarial drugs are effective tools to fight malaria in areas where it is transmitted.

Bed nets are used in the Duk Lost Boys Clinic to keep mosquitoes away from patients.
