Comment from the contributor:
From UK Coalition Against Malaria --G8 leaders have pledged to tackled malaria. They agreed to provide 100 million insecticide-treated nets by the end of 2010, plus the recruitment and training of 1.4 million health workers who are vital in the fight against malaria.
EAAM also urges that G8 efforts not only focus on malaria prevention, for example, with insecticide treated nets, but also tackles issues of expanding access to treatment to stop the needless deaths of up to three million people and children each year.
