Prevention and Management Strategies for Malaria
India has had lots of hits and misses with malaria since independence. Prevention starts at home. Self determination is needed .Protective measures should be adopted; they not only help protect the individual but rather deprive the mosquito of its blood meal .self enforcement is the key, motivation and commitment from the user is needed for a fail safe outcome. A child dies from malaria every 30 seconds
The Roll Back Malaria Partnership (RBM) (an alliance of WHO, UNICEF, World Bank, UN Development Programme, malaria endemic countries, donors, NGOs, private sector and academia) was established in 1998 to provide a global approach to combating malaria
For any programme and its implementation an effective strategy is integral. The NVBDCP (National Vector Borne Disease Control programme) is an umbrella programme for prevention and control of vector borne diseases (VBDs) and is an integral part of the India.s National Rural Health Mission (NRHM). The Enhanced Malaria Control Project (EMCP) with World Bank assistance was implemented during 1997-2005 in 100 districts of eight high malaria incidence states. The World Bank is assisting the programme again through the National Vector Borne Disease Control Project (2008-2013) which was launched in September 2008. The Intensified Malaria Control Programme (IMCP) funded by Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria
(GFATM) is in operation since 2005 in 106 districts of 10 states.

    Summary Of Dr. Paul Farmer's Reimagining Global Health

    Even more, most children die from malnourishment but are not reported as such(305). However, campaigns including the Gavi Alliance and the Task Force for Global Health arrange deworming programs(306) and ready-to-use therapeutic foods(307). On the topic of maternal health, the Partnership for Maternal, Newborn, and Child Health wish to strengthen the health system by improving health worker training, sanctioning referrals to appropriate facilities, and providing prenatal care regularly(308).

    Epidemiology

    Given that the above issue is of global concern, there is need for science, practice and policy to be brought together to address the problem. First through science, adequate research into the problem will be conducted (Shonkoff, 2000). This will help answer questions relating to the nature of the virus, causes and possible treatment options. Secondly, data obtain through research, given by scientists can be used to persuade policy makers to develop the necessary policies that will help to collectively address the problem. For example, such policies could focus on the role each nation needs to play to stop the spread of the disease. Finally, through practice, health workers and service providers can provide the much needed knowledge about the epidemic (Shonkoff, 2000). This is the professional experience that can be used to understand the virus, causes and the best treatment modalities. Therefore, when these three are brought together, a holistic approach to the problem can be taken.…

    The Importance Of Disease In Rwanda

    Have you ever really taken the time and think about what some people are going through in this world. There are many problems that are all important, one of which is the lack of supplies people have for disease. Many countries suffer with diseases that are not a problem in the United States because unlike us other countries do not have medications and equipment to help them keep dangerous diseases away. Rwanda is a place that is dealing with this problem, many people are very sick and some are even dying. Some of the main disease are tuberculosis, cholera, and malaria.

    What Is Public Health and What Makes a Good Public Health Practitioner?

    These actors practice public health through different approaches or discourses, the most prominent being disease control. From the Babylonian sewage system (Khaliq & Smego 2007) to Chadwick 's intervention of sanitation (Hamlin 2002) in 1842 to date, disease control and prevention is the most commonly used discourse in public health and is one of the eight Millennium Development Goals. Other discourses in public health include environment health, social determinants and health inequalities, health economics, health management, health promotion, evidence based health and social justice.

For example, the Gates Foundation, a philanthropic organization, aims mainly at developing and delivering vaccines,…

    Malaria: Casual Argument

But in Africa, people are lucky to make it to such an age; every 30 seconds a child dies of malaria ("Fact sheet n°94," 2010). The problems don’t stop there. The world is affected by the many impacts of such a disease. As one of the number one killers, malaria has caught the attention of many organizations. Many other countries, mostly those that have a subtropical climate or that are islands, have overcame and reduced the number of cases a year; Africa and many other third world countries are still suffering (Gallup, & Sachs, 2001). The reason why—poverty and lack of education. Malaria is causing further economic turmoil, but at the same time uniting organizations to help reduce the loss of the human race to malaria.…
