Did you also know that this past weekend - April 25 - was World Malaria Day? You can visit USAID to read more on World Malaria Day. As noted on USAID.org under U.S. Malaria Initiative Releases Third Annual Report: "Malaria is one of the major causes of illness and death among children in Africa and adversely affects productivity among all age groups. Malaria and poverty are closely linked. Economists estimate that malaria accounts for approximately 40 percent of public health expenditures in Africa and causes an annual loss of $12 billion, or 1.3 percent, of the continent's gross domestic product." I did not even imagine the annual expense in regards to this disease!
You can also visit the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) to learn more about Malaria.
