Every
year, 500 million people are infected with Malaria, a mosquito spread disease.
This virus kills about 1.5 million people each year, most of which in Africa. Malaria
is the leading cause of death for under-fives in Africa, killing 1.1 million
every year. Children who survive may have anemia and cerebral problems which
can change their development. Malaria is one of Africa’s biggest health
problems. I think that more research should be done to find a vaccine for this
disease. What do you think Africa’s biggest health problem is?
