We hope to do this by ensuring that all people in need are able to access the current malaria control interventions related to prevention, diagnostics and treatment.
But between 2000 and 2013, death rates have fallen by 54% in Africa as a result of several malaria control interventions.
Yet, the WHO said, an estimated 663m cases of malaria have been averted in sub-Saharan Africa since 2001 as a direct result of the scale-up of three key malaria control interventions: bednets, indoor spraying, and the use of malaria drugs known as artemisinin-based combination therapy.
In countries where access to malaria control interventions has improved most significantly, overall child mortality rates have fallen by approximately 20%.
While that is still a devastating statistic, malaria rates have actually declined significantly over the last decade, thanks to malaria control interventions.
The Social Media Envoys are dedicated to utilizing their social profile to keep online and offline media audiences focused on the movement, milestones and resources required to achieve the Secretary-General's goal of providing all endemic African countries with malaria control interventions by the end of 2010.
The predicted cost-effectiveness of IPTc and IPTi is in line with other malaria control interventions.
Decreases in the SPR have been cited as evidence for successful malaria control interventions in Africa [4], [5].
However, the problem remains great, with little improvement in much of Africa, and improved malaria control interventions are needed.
Available and proven malaria control interventions include insecticide-treated bed nets (ITNs), indoor residual spraying (IRS) of insecticide, and effective case management.
We thus plan further analyses to explore the interactions of vaccination with other malaria control interventions and the implications for resource allocation and management within the health system.
