GHANA SET TO BECOME MALARIA-FREE BY 2015

The Head of Malaria Control Programme in Ghana, Dr. Constance Bart-Plange believes that the country will be able to eradicate malaria by 2015 in line with the World Health Organisation vision.
She tells Adom News the country has been consistently recording fewer Malaria cases year on year over the past 10 years.
The Malaria Control Programme used this year’s World Malaria Day which fell today to screen some 400 residents of some areas in Accra for malaria and Dr. Bart-Plange says only 25 were founded to have malaria.
The World Health Organisation (WHO) say malaria is the biggest killer of children under the age of five (5) in sub-Saharan Africa and it kills about one million people worldwide every year.
Dr. Constance Bart-Plange cautioned medical experts not to confuse malaria with other diseases.
