Opis

Malaria is a disease thst causes infant and youth mortality every 30 seconds as the clock ticks. 90 % of the infection of the disease is allocated to the African continent. Ignorance, poverty and lack of commitment are the primary factors responsible for the widespread of malaria. Because of them, the proper preventive measures are not applied and as a result, the masses are left to suffer the disease's devastating effects. As a Liberian, remembering my days of combat with the disease inspired me to do a global review of the disease with concentration in my home country. This was also based on the fact that Liberia being a war-torn country for more than a decade did not have the proper support to fight the disease nor suppress its widespread.
