The 25th day of April every year is devoted to
celebrating Malaria day globally. The theme for
this year is "Invest in the future, defeat malaria.

Malaria is one of the leading causes of death
globally. Statistics show that between 1-3
million people die annually in which Nigeria
takes about 300,000 thousand of this figure.
Hence, there is the need to combat this killer in
our society.

I spoke with a specialist recently, he talked
explicitly on the measures we need to put in
place to avoid malaria and safeguard our future
( as the theme of the year is).
Surprisingly, all he said are what we all know
but maybe indifferent to;
Using treated Mosquito net.

Having nets all around our houses

Shutting the door during the day so that
Mosquitoes that are outside won't have access
inside the house.

He commended the effort of the Government by
giving out treated mosquito nets to women that
just deliver in general hospitals but however
said they (the government) need put in more
effort by clearing drainages and providing more
infrastructures.

So many lives have been cut short as a result of
malaria, why not put in place all that is
highlighted and more so we can put a stop to
this killer in our society?
Happy Celebration.
