World Malaria Day

Today is World Malaria Day.

1 million people die of malaria each year - that's one person every 30 seconds. 90% of these deaths are in Africa.

Ban Ki-moon wants to eradicate malaria in Africa. The solutions are possible, if not always easy.

What do you think? Shall we do something about it?

I wrote a series of articles about this a couple of years ago - you can find them here
