WHAT THE EXPERTS SAY ABOUT MALARIA

QUOTES ABOUT MALARIA

“It is a shame that the deaths of millions of African children from malaria every year do not elicit any outrage. But the deaths of a few hundred African giraffes would stir the world into action to save them. Historians estimate that Africa lost 10 millions people through the Trans-Atlantic Slave trade that went on for nearly a century. Tragically, Africa loses more people from malaria—particularly children—in less than a decade.”
George Ayittey. PhD, Distinguished Economist, American University, President & Founder, The Free Africa Foundation

“There is a silent Tsunami underway all the time in rural Africa. Every month, as many children die of malaria in Africa as died in the Tsunami - - about 150,000 children dying every month”
Dr.Jeffery Sachs, Ph.D., Director of the UN Millennium Project, Director of the Earth Institute at Columbia University

"The Malaria epidemic is like loading up seven Boeing 747 airlines each day, then deliberately crashing them into Mt. Kilimanjaro."
 Dr. Wen Kilama, PhD Founder and Managing Trustee, African Malaria Network Trust (AMANET)

“Malaria continues to be masked by the higher profile of other diseases and disasters, even within sophisticated universities structures, while 3,000 children keep dying each and every day from this preventable and treatable disease.  We need to take unique approaches and a bold stand to bring continuous attention, more intellectual capacity and financial support to this problem.”
Dr. Mary Galinski, PhD, Founder and President, Malaria Foundation International (MFI), Associate Professor of Medicine and Infectious Diseases at Emory University with affiliated positions within the Emory Vaccine Center and the Yerkes Research Center.
