Malaria

Malaria

Malaria is a mosquito-borne disease that infects approximately 219 million people and kills 660,000 every year, most of them children. Malaria is preventable and curable, but developing countries are particularly prone to widespread infection due to a lack of resources and knowledge about preventative measures. IPA has run evaluations that focus on strategies such as distribution of mosquito bednets and SMS messages that remind people to regularly take medication.
