Abstract

Increased donated and subsidised medicines for malaria are saving countless lives in Africa, but there is probably increasing theft and diversion of those medicines. The impact of medicine diversion is unknown but potentially dangerous and may bolster criminal networks and increase medicine stock outs (1,2). This study demonstrates...

The UN's push for a "zero DDT world" ignores the millions of lives DDT has saved over the past century with little-to-no adverse environmental impact and no harm to human health.

The United Nations plans to advocate drastic reductions in the use of DDT, which kills or repels the mosquitoes that spread malaria.

DDT is a proven effective anti-malaria measure, but the United Nations has abandoned science for the sake of political correctness.

The World Bank is failing miserably on malaria, like it failed on HIV/AIDS before.

Tragically, the World Bank"s mishandling of scientific issues has serious consequences--consequences that kill patients.

In a new Lancet paper my colleagues and I point out that the World Bank has failed in its anti-malaria program. So what now?

The malaria community has done a great job over the past decade to combat the disease. But this may be about to change.
