Zambia calls for cooperation to combat malaria

LUSAKA, Apr 25, 2009 (Xinhua via COMTEX) -- Zambian government has called for closer working cooperation with the private sector and key stakeholders in its quest to combat Malaria, Zambia News and Information Service (ZANIS) reported on Saturday.



Lusaka District Commissioner, Christah Kalulu said that the government has since embarked on a number of ambitious and vigorous interventions aimed at combating the threat posed by Malaria.

Kalulu said this on Saturday in Lusaka that this Year's Malaria Day theme -- "Counting Malaria Out" implies that malaria can be wiped out like small pox and polio as it is a preventable disease. She also distributed the Insecticides Treated Mosquito Nets to a selected households.



She appealed to residents in the area to have access to health officials who will soon be in the area conducting residential spraying aimed at killing the mesquites, ZANIS said.

Kalulu further urged residents to support government programs such as the in door residual household spraying, Insecticide Treated Nets and the Environmental Management aimed at combating the disease.

Speaking earlier, parliament member Jean Kapata, commended the government for exhibiting leadership in the fight against the disease.

Kapata noted that the country has made considerable progress in addressing the negative impact especially among the vulnerable group to the disease, children.

She observed that the country has achieved a rapid scale up program as evident by the 2008 Malaria Indicator survey that shows the reduction on the impact on children by 54 percent and severe anemia by 69 percent in a period of two years, ZANIS said.
