We often treat malaria as just "ka-fever". You swallow Coartem and move on. Biologically, Plasmodium falciparum is not simple.
After a mosquito bite, it hides and multiplies in your liver before destroying your red blood cells. This is why it is so hard to eliminate.

@UEDCLTD Hallo,
Good morning.
There's a challenge I am experiencing, I can't buy units.
It has failed on almost all networks including mobile banking apps.
@MakCoNAS Good day admin,
I would like to make an inquiry,
How can one publish in this newsletter?
Speaking on behalf of fellow students at CONAS who would wish to share knowledge.
Thank you.
🩸What happens when malaria declines, but severe anaemia persists?
📊A 26-year hospital surveillance study of 80,000+ paediatric admissions in Kilifi, Kenya shows that severe anaemia is associated with a higher risk of invasive bacterial infections with the burden shifting to older children.
📚Our latest research highlight underscores the need for early diagnosis, appropriate treatment, continued surveillance and stronger health systems in improving child survival.

@thehouseoffootb If you are going to set standards, then those standards must be consistent.
Show some moral backbone, show some consistency.
Otherwise that's not standards at all, that's just cynicism.
It's hard for me to explain to those outside #Uganda just how irritated the Ugandans are to be lumped in with DRC for the #Ebola epidemic. As of this writing, there have been hundreds of deaths and over 1000 cases in Congo, whereas Uganda has had only 9 cases -- three Congolese, four medical workers who treated them, one driver who drove them, and one other known contact. Only one person has died in Uganda, a Congolese.
So when WHO and Al Jazeera talks about the Ebola epidemic in "Congo and Uganda," it's like saying because there are wildfires in California, you should cancel a trip to the Grand Canyon because some Californians lit a campfire there. Yes, it is possible it *could* spread and you have to be vigilant, but these two situations are nowhere near the same magnitude.
As of this writing, the only Ugandan death has been the tourism industry.
In my life of constant wars, my best soldiers were not Banyankore or Bahima. No! Rather they were Acholi, Madi, Lugbara and Karimojong. It doesn't matter how you look or what language you speak. All that matters is who you are as a person.
