The World Malaria day was established in May 2007 by the World Health Organisation during the 60th session of the World Health Assembly. The day was established to provide education and understanding of malaria.
This day replaced the Africa Malaria Day, which was observed on the same day, established in 2001.

How can you help?
Treating malaria is great but preventing the mosquito from biting in the first place is the best way.
You can help by:
• Draining standing water from your environment.
• Consider using a mosquito net. This is the safest way to prevent.
• Keeping your environment neat.
• Spraying your home with environmentally friendly insecticides.
• Educating others about malaria.
Finally, malaria respects no one. Not even the most powerful people have control over malaria when it comes calling. Four popes have died from malaria. Eight US presidents have contracted the disease. Keep yourselves safe.

I wonder if mosquito followed NOAH into the ark or was created after the flood. If it was in the ark, I just pity how many times malaria go catch NOAH and him children before the forty days forty night ended.

For me ,the best way to fight malaria is to build an impregnable immunity with certain herbs and supplements. My secret weapon for 25 yrs.
