Malaria: The ACT Alternative
The fight against malaria, that hoodoo whose multi-faceted adverse effects cut across the globe and constitute a bane of progress to humanity, is not up for negotiation.
Information: a veritable “mosquitocide”
Information we are told, is power, and good information lays the foundation for successful advocacy. The journalist can only help lay the solid foundation for advocacy in the case of malaria if he gets close to the scientists or researchers to dig out credible information that documents the severity of the malaria burden and the effectiveness of the proposed solutions. Without such credible information it becomes difficult to start and sustain an advocacy campaign. Wain Paul Ngam reports.
