ON WORLD MALARIA DAY, UN OFFICIALS PUSH FOR NEAR ZERO PREVENTABLE
DEATHSNew York, Apr 25 2014 10:00AMThe tide has turned on malaria,
with mortality rates for children in Africa down by half, but a
stronger surveillance system is urgently needed to prevent new
outbreaks and resurgences, United Nations officials today warned,
marking the sixth annual World Malaria Day. "We must stay focused
until the job is done," said Ray Chambers, UN Special Envoy for
Malaria. "The world has an ethical obligation to continue to protect
the hundreds of millions of children who have slept safely under a bed
net and who have had access to treatment."

Child deaths from malaria declined from one million in 2008 to under
500,000 thanks to a community of malaria supporters who delivered
nearly 44 million long-lasting mosquito nets in the first-quarters of
this year alone, Mr. Chambers said.

"We have arrived at this historic moment thanks to the dedicated
leaders of endemic countries; committed donor countries and
organizations," he added, including the UN-backed Global Fund to Fight
AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, the World Bank, and national
Governments.

However, the disease killed an estimated 627,000 people in 2012,
mostly children under the age of five in sub-Saharan Africa, according
to figures cited by the UN. More than 200 million cases are believed
to occur each year, most of them never tested or registered.

In his <"http://www.un.org/sg/statements/?nid=6775">remarks on the
Day, UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said: "While we applaud
progress to date, we must confront the fact that malaria still kills
more than half a million people every year. Too many cases still go
untested, unregistered and untreated."

As such, the UN chief repeated his call for continued investment and
sustained political commitment, and will to improve malaria prevention
and control.

"We need more funding to maintain progress and continue scaling up
coverage of effective malaria interventions," he said, also calling
for more resources to develop and maintain effective surveillance
programmes and to combat increasing mosquito resistance to
insecticides and parasite resistance to antimalarial drugs.

This year's World Malaria Day is marked as the international community
is accelerating progress towards the anti-poverty targets known as the
Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).

Part of the MDGs is the target of halving and reversing the incidence
of malaria by 2015.

"Malaria is preventable and curable," said UN General Assembly
President John Ashe who is one of the key officials spearheading the
push towards reaching the MDGs and creating a new sustainable
development agenda.

"Our effort must be a global one," he added. "We know what it takes to
stop this disease, and now we must work to make that knowledge
universal."

This year, the UN World Health Organization (WHO) is launching a
manual to help countries to assess the technical, operational and
financial feasibility of moving towards malaria elimination.

WHO's new guide,
<"http://apps.who.int/iris/bitstream/10665/112485/1/9789241507028_eng.pdf?ua=1">
From malaria control to malaria elimination: a manual for elimination
scenario planning , will provide these countries with a comprehensive
framework to assess different scenarios and timelines for moving
towards elimination, depending on programme coverage and funding
availability.

"Increased political commitment and the expansion of global malaria
investments have saved some 3.3 million lives since 2000," says Dr
Margaret Chan, Director-General at WHO. "Countries where malaria
remains endemic now want to build on this success."

Since 2000, there has been a 42 per cent reduction in malaria
mortality rates globally, and a 49 per cent decline in the WHO African
Region. This progress has led some malaria-endemic countries, even
those with historically high burdens of malaria, to start exploring
the possibility of elimination.

But although many countries have the political will to commit to
elimination, technical, operational and financial obstacles remain,
particularly in countries that have a high disease burden.

The WHO manual will help countries assess what resources they need to
reduce malaria transmission to very low levels, i.e. the point at
which focused elimination programmes can start in earnest. It will
also help them consider appropriate timelines and provide them with
essential knowledge for long-term strategic planning for malaria
programmes.

"This long-term view on malaria is critical: it is vital to plan for
the period after elimination," says Dr John Reeder, Director of WHO's
Global Malaria Programme. "If interventions are eased or abandoned,
malaria transmission can re-establish relatively quickly in areas that
are prone to the disease, leading to a resurgence in infections and
deaths."</P>Apr 25 2014 10:00AM
