Danger Stalks Malaria Success

Malaria death rates have plunged by 60 per cent since 2000 - a remarkable achievement - those malaria infects and kills are mostly children and mostly African, 80 per cent in just 15 countries. A new report says progress can accelerate - but without sustained commitment, the ancient killer can come roaring back and spread globally.

Anti-malaria outreach efforts in rural Nigeria reach nomadic villages deep in the bush, providing insecticide-treated nets, as well as treatment to pregnant women.
