media type="custom" key="3637875"  //"... A child dying from malaria every 30 seconds is completely unacceptable when we have effective and affordable ways to help children and adults avoid infection. Incredibly, one out of four child deaths in Africa is due to malaria. Yet, insecticide treated bed nets can reduce mortality by up to 25 %. We need to help countries expand programmes to get nets and drugs for treatment to all women and children who are threatened by this silent crisis."// //Dr. Carol Bellamy, Executive Director, UNICEF//  There are a number of ways to prevent malaria.
