Summary: This article covers the topic of malaria and how in the near future it can be eradicated. However, the world is not joining on the opportunity. It goes on to say that funding for research and prevention has recently flat-lined. Some deeply affected countries in South Asia plan to be malaria free by 2030. Malaria can cause serious problems and since it's last major outbreak, the cases of malaria has increased to a whopping 212 million. This us also partly due to healthcare that is focused mainly on countries affected and regulated by those countries. Prevention methods such as bed nets and possible"super drugs" need to be placed as a staple for malaria prevention in order to see tremendous results.
Analysis: I think that this is a great thing to have a study on. Considering how many people are affected by malaria, it is time that we take measures to control it and get rid of it. Malaria is responsible for many deaths in third world countries and often they do not have the supplies and technologies to help themselves. I hope that one day more advanced countries will pour more of their effort into the pot of malaria eradication.
Syn: small pox, a disease that was quick to spread amongst native Americans at alarming rates and caused many fatalities. Other successful civilizations did not work to help them out.
It is uplifting to hear that we can finally eradicate this terrible illness.
