So that remedy is too late for this young boy shivering under a tree in a small rural village. Malaria parasites have already invaded his blood and the fever and headaches have started.
If it gets worse, it’ll lead to hallucinations, coma, and death.
His parents, like many, cannot afford the drugs that would help relieve the symptoms and he is in danger of joining the statistics of the disease they say kills a child every 30 seconds, mainly in sub-Saharan Africa. All too many of these children are AIDS orphans anyway, with nobody to help but themselves.
Come on world... other countries have virtually eliminated malaria... what’s it going to take for these countries that can never afford to do it themselves?
