When I was young, the most dreaded mosquito disease was MALARIA not dengue. But times has changed, malaria is decreasing as we found ways in fighting the fatal disease. Also a problem of many nation especially poor ones who have vulnerable breeding grounds made them centers of epidemic plus the lack of access of healthcare often led to deaths of many people.
But there is hope now in this new millennium, this is what was announced in the Kapihan sa Manila Hotel last November together with the Department of Health (DOH) national Malaria coordinator Dr. Raffy Deray who stressed that the country is definitely on its way to being Malaria-free, thanks to the efforts of some private-sector health advocates who have worked hand-in-hand with the government to curb the dreaded disease.
