Can you imagine a world without malaria?
Bill and Melinda Gates can. So can Bono of U2. And they, along with a number of other celebrities and world leaders, have big plans to reduce the number of malaria cases to near zero by 2015. Committing over $3 billion, they say that recent progress in the fight against malaria means even greater gains are likely in coming years. Cost is one of the biggest barriers to treatment, a tragedy when treatment costs six dollars. The disease has been coined the "epidemic of the poor."
