    Ami was 12 when she died from malaria. Her father, Elhadj Diop, gave up his job, sold his belongings and walked hundreds of kilometres to convince thousands of people to hang up mosquito nets. His country, Senegal, is now on track to eradicate malaria.https://bbc.in/2H8WAFD

        How were west Africans treating malaria before western pharmaceuticals came along? Looks like we have lost the knowledge.

        What an inspiration. One ordinary person can change a whole country - with hard work, sacrifice & committment.

        In different countries especially in Africa there (National AIDS Councils) why can't we declare this this as national status at international level in order to deal with Malaria.....? Cause without prevention and cure malaria is a deadly disease than AIDS.
