I have just returned from a very productive visit to Zambia with the highlight being the launch of our new innovative malaria prevention<\/strong> project. This took place at the Avani Victoria Falls Resort\u00a0<\/a>on July 29th and was attended by the Deputy Permanent Secretary, Government Health and Education officials, District Commissioners, Leading Members of the Communities, the Tourism Sector\u00a0and the Chamber of Commerce. We are very grateful to Avani for donating the use of a conference room.<\/p>\n

After my opening address\u00a0the Deputy Permanent Secretary gave a speech followed by a presentation of the\u00a0malaria prevention<\/strong>\u00a0products by Stain Musungaila, The Butterfly Tree member who manages the project in Zambia<\/a>. This was gratefully received by the Ministries and Heads of the Communities, and was subsequently reported in the national press.<\/p>\n

The product details\u00a0can be found\u00a0using\u00a0this link:\u00a0Presentation – Vectorcide 2015<\/a><\/p>\n

Malaria<\/a><\/strong> remains the number one killer of man. 75% of all deaths occur in children under the age of five in sub-Sahara Africa. Every 60 second a child dies from malaria<\/strong>. With a vaccine yet to be approved by the WHO<\/a> malaria prevention is essential. According to the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine<\/a> these advanced products, supplied by Vectorcide UK and manufactured in a cutting edge laboratory in Poland, are far superior to anything else currently available on the global market.<\/p>\n

The True Cost of Malaria – A Global Ongoing Battle – Doctor Fox<\/a><\/p>\n

Thanks to Saga Charitable Trust<\/a> the first shipment has arrived in Zambia and is being\u00a0distributed in villages in the Mukuni Chiefdom where there is a high prevalence of malaria<\/strong>. Chuunga, Kamwi and Syaflwebafweba reported almost four hundred cases of malaria<\/strong>\u00a0last year. It is imperative that we get these villages covered with Mozzimort before the onset of the rainy season.<\/p>\n

The Ministry of Health, the National Malaria Control Centre, the Zambian Scientific Research Centre and the Environmental Agencies have been instrumental in helping\u00a0us to get these products into Zambia. It\u00a0is now hoped that both the Provincial health departments\u00a0and the private sector will purchase these products to help prevent more loss of life.<\/p>\n
