- 25th April 2015 World Malaria Day
- 12 Million Mosquito Nets Shall Be Distributed Nationwide To Boost The Fight Against Malaria
This information
was disclosed by Dr. Etienne Fondjo during his encounter with the media.
Students of the
Faculty of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences of the University of Yaounde I are
this Monday 20th April 2015, involved in medical demonstration
activities as part of the awareness programme.
World Malaria
Day celebrated every 25th April was first commemorated in 2008. It
is a day set aside by the World Health Organisation (WHO) to address major gaps
in the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of malaria.
This year’s
theme like in the past two years is “Invest in the future; Defeat malaria.”
Officials of the
National Malaria Control Programme contend that their major challenge presently
is to cut down malaria-related fatality by 75 per cent.
Dr Etienne
Fondjo is calling on donor organisations to step up their support in the fight
against malaria, malaria which is a primary cause of mortality in Cameroon.
