Malaria is a serious health and economic problem in Africa afflicting more than half of the continent’s population. Although HIV/AIDS, TB, and nutritional deficiencies pose major development problems on the continent, the challenges presented by malaria are of a different kind, because the disease is widespread, persistent and grossly underestimated by the general population.
This book provides the evidence required to design and implement malaria control strategies in Africa. Researchers, policy makers and students of economics and public health will find the book valuable. |
