Mosquitoes and malaria have always remained a problem of our country. Nowadays, deadly malaria poses a serious health risk in the entire Sindh province. It sickens hundreds of thousands of people and also kills countless people, most of them children and elderly people.
In the wake of the last two years’ natural and man-made calamities, it has become one of the most important threats to the health of pregnant women, children, newborns and elderly people in the flood –hit areas which are still not rehabilitated. Malaria cases are alarmingly high due to sizzling heat wave and no persistent supply of electricity. In this pathetic situation, the federal and provincial concerned authorities, the World Health Organisation and other organisations are appealed to step up efforts so that millions of lives may be saved.
