United Nations Radio in New York is talking about malaria and Africa's
attempt to fight the disease. There's some good news from there, and
apparently there are chances of attaining some targets under the Roll-Back
Malaria Programme.
One might be wrong, but in Goa, the issue of malaria seems
to have gone off the radar of public concern. Even the
enthusiasm that was visible in the early and mid 'nineties
seems to have vanished.
Can we afford to be complacent over this? FN
BTW June 16 is the day of the African Child. Large numbers die of malaria
each year, and many get orphaned by AIDS.
