African leaders ally to eliminate some 1 million annual malaria deaths by 2015

UNITED NATIONS (AP) — African states launched an campaign on Wednesday to stop malaria from killing an estimated 1 million people on their continent each year.

The objective of the 20-member African Leaders Malaria Alliance is to eradicate nearly all malaria deaths by the end of 2015.

The overwhelming majority of victims are children under 5 and pregnant women, according to the alliance, whose formation was announced on the sidelines of the U.N. General Assembly.

Malaria costs Africa an estimated $12 billion each year in health care outlays and lost economic opportunities, the alliance said.

With an estimated 500 million annual cases, Africa is the continent most affected by malaria, accounting for 86 percent of all cases and 91 percent of all malaria deaths worldwide, President Jakaya Kikwete of Tanzania said at the alliance's launch.

Rampant poverty has burdened prevention, control and cure efforts, Kikwete said. The alliance is designed to allow members to achieve efficiencies in the procurement, distribution and employment of malaria controls.

The international community has donated $3 billion to finance the project, which plans to distribute more than 240 million insecticide-treated beds throughout malaria-endemic African countries by the end of 2010, the alliance said.

"The goals look ambitious but I am confident they are achievable," Kikwete said.

    Hate is not such a good word to use here. I think your message is you don't like the white "dude". Our President seem to be a subordinate to him which is not a good image for a Head of State. Typical African character in the presence of a white person, even a child will bring out the same expression. WHAT IS WRONG WITH US?

    Afrika "tutatoka" lini?
    Marais wanaenda kuomba misaada kila leo na wakipewa wanatumia vibaya, wao wenyewe au watu wao wa karibu.
    Inauma sana.
    mnisaidie kama mmeshawahi kusikia bara lingine wakuu wanchi wanaenda kujikomba wapewe misaada kama Afrika. Na wakati huo huo tunaongoza kwa rushwa na vita !!!
    Mabomu tunanunua mpaka yanatuulia na watoto mtaani.
    Inatia uchungu jamanii!!!

    Kila nikisoma habari za aina hii na kuona picha za marais wetu wa afrika huwa ninacheka, ninajiuliza wanafikiri nini vichwani mwao, ninakosa maneno, ninacheka tena. Anony wa Sept 25 01:11 umenifariji kwa kuona kuwa angaa kuna watanzania wanaoona ukweli.
    Tena angalia akina mugabe na museveni walivyokuwa wajanja: wameona hiyo kazi wamkabidhi mtaalamu wa kuomba misaada!!!!
    Kwa kifupi, Tanzania tunao uwezo wa kuangamiza mbu na malaria bila kwenda kuomba misaada Marekani, KAMA TUNGEPENDA!!!
