Today is April 25, 2022, World Malaria Day.
In the 1940s, before the founding of the People’s Republic of China, the number of malaria patients in my country was about 30 million each year, of which 300,000 died. More than 70 years later, in June 2021, the World Health Organization announced that China has passed the certification of malaria elimination. After decades of unremitting efforts, China has finally achieved local malaria-free.
From 30 million to 0, behind this huge difference in numbers, there are numerous and vast health problems, as well as the efforts of countless scientists and grass-roots epidemic prevention personnel. In the past 70 years, what efforts have been made by those who have devoted themselves to the prevention and control of malaria? What experiences have you drawn? Where will they go after malaria is eliminated?
After the elimination of local malaria in China, the malaria situation in other parts of the world, especially in Africa, is still not to be underestimated. As a result, Chinese experts set out with years of experience in preventing and controlling malaria.
Can China’s experience be successfully implemented in Africa? What difficulties have the experts encountered in Africa? Please watch the video –
Global Health and Development Guardian Program
We care about every moment of inspiration of scientists and every step of development and exploration in unknown fields. But this time, we want to turn our attention to the global poor.
They live in poverty and are more vulnerable to harm: climate change, infectious diseases, hunger, poverty, newborn deaths, sexism… What can science and innovation bring them?
By recruiting and cultivating creators and communicators, the Global Health and Development Guardian Program promotes the production of various high-quality content, and encourages dissemination and voice, so as to spread the concept of concern for global health and global development to the public, so that the poor can get more attention, And look forward to getting that attention to actually improve their situation.
