Ethiopia Has Halved Malaria Deaths in Just Three Years

The number of people who die from malaria in Ethiopia has been halved in just three years through the distribution of nearly 20 million insecticide-treated bed nets and widespread use of antimalaria drugs. The dramatic fall in deaths from a disease that kills one in four people was made possible with money from the Global Fund To Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, and a small army of health workers.
