Is elimination of malaria in Africa by 2010 unrealistic? (9)
-----------------------------------------------------------

Ijumba you are absolutely right! The way we address health related events has been a "one dimensional approach" while infact most of these events are "multifaceted".One of the major reasons could be the shift from altruistic motive to the commercial one in health care. We all know who has driven the shift! I wonder in case of malaria the proponents of "chemotherapy alone" have a conflict of interest??
