it's clear. do you. really should explore germany. they've done. everything out there's a lot going on in the. early years to. w. . this is news africa coming up in the next fifteen minutes on world malaria day malawi gonna end kenya are administering the only licensed vaccine to protect against the mosquitoes brake disease we have a report from gonna play malaria kills three children every day. will also get a report from walls and beat with malaria and fictions picking up in the aftermath of last month's deadly cycle.

i'm christine wonderwall come to the news africa i'm glad you're tuned in today as world malaria day it's a disease that was once on the decline but now on the rise again the world health organization estimates malaria killed four hundred thirty five thousand people in twenty seven. most of those who die african children under the age of five if it's to fight the disease have stagnated recent he isn't possible africa infection rates have actually risen but there's hope this week as three african countries rolled out a program of backs a nation it's hoped the programs in malawi kenya and gonna will dramatically cut the disease this report from one of those countries gone fishing which at this call facility on the outskirts of distin ghana for medical treatment many of them i hear because of my leave. the hospital records over one hundred suspected malaria cases

daily with confirmed high among children under five years the disease doesn't spare st and adults. still remains in number one cause of hospital attendance saw a very high percentage of the patients who reported his hospital for treatment come because of malaria and they also diagnosed ourselves there for us we have both complicated and complicated malaria and of malaria among children under five. dollars cent and malaria in the in their grown ups and the aged three s a group ghana record it half a million malaria related admissions to hospital the health ministry says that dropped by a fifth to four hundred thousand by twenty eighteen thanks to sense programs like

this one the lead agency hoping with campaigns for over a decade now is the control program a major challenge is getting people to change the behavior change their behavior intercepting these interventions which are known to be effective. change behavior in shoes in the nets when we give alternates to them for free cept in which case into your homes to spread your household where the areas that are eligible and for children and a fight that my best in the wards a setting the actual going to be giving their mates and we're pregnant and lot of issues has to do with behavior change for people in this fight against malaria remains a major cause of death in ghana the country's targets in zero g.'s by twenty thirty but in many communities. choked with stagnant water where mosquitoes preach me again i join. malawi and kenya to pilots already tested scenes for over one

hundred twenty thousand children aged twenty four months and younger. have gone through a lot of with regards to various impacts reducing the number of maria. reducing does four in ten and this is. a useful. thing that as a country when you move ahead and. introduce this introduction in selected districts and finale really not to the country to out as a catalyst to our effort to knit an area. is estimated to have killed around five hundred people in twenty eighteen that's a figure officials want to recuse fade out but it's like this about mosquito sprays

show that the fight isn't over. and joining me now is yeah he is africa representative. in a safe or doctor without borders he specializes in public health and is involved in research he joins me now from yale would they welcome say africa mr bloom is this the of by the vaccine that will end malaria. well thank you for thank you for inviting me to first mention that i represent a piece on the research of m.s.f. actually will it affect scene is really a great promise it's the first of many that we show recently because what does that mean it's me that four children out of ten can be protected from malaria if they take all the four doors of the vaccine and that is defeated on nothing and we to congratulate order research from the top been working on that.

ok i see and i guess the emphasis that some experts have made here to say that the introduction off this vaccine should not take away from existing if it's for example giving people bed nets and insecticides that couldn't be elaborated too much can it. yes definitely first of all this is a pilot a pilot and magician of the vaccine which means that we need to get a more information of how we walk in real life disappointing is that the vaccine is one tool already orders and all those orders are already proven to be effective i'm talking about the i'm talking about the combination treatment so those one already come. it's like seeing that you know where. you can drive a twenty kilometer per hour in the city center that doesn't make sense put

a vaccine is coming to it all the puzzle plea that we can use to address the issue of malaria. right missteps so what i mean when it's taken about thirty is to get to where we are today in terms of danger to developing this particular vaccine and whilst on the subject let's talk about something that you are making any passionate about and that is africans developing and creating our own solutions to our societal and health problems we're not seeing enough of that on the continent all we. actually does the local thing happening in a country for some for example we've been finding a way of being able to. using those for big test but also how to shorten the duration of cuba through the treatment in uganda. you know there is also diarrhea so we are able to prove that you can use a vaccine we don't call chen in a country where the temperature is high a forty degree so the lot of things happening. people are like. trying to

understand and to address some of those issues so a lot is happening however we are not the one leading her research. and that poses a problem for us right and i guess normally when we hear things like this we tend to look at all governments and we say that is where the failures are but you you suggest that the civil sector as well the civil society should be paying its. yes definitely i you know in africa we've never had as many billionaires as we have now we have done pulling cameroon don't go to nigeria or to peace and africa so those people invest in finding innovative solutions to the permanently face if not how african will be just implementor we won't be able to drive the research and provide a dick with and really even solution maybe something that. very quickly if you are an african researcher your list likely to be first in

a research but be kishen if you're walking in partnership with the top five american university so it's like some someone else telling your story to d.s. one has to be addressed with the support of those philanthropists to mean to be able to provide and rent a research right that's the up there with a challenge to africa's billionaires thank you thank you. when side through mozambique last month that killed more than a thousand people and left widespread destruction in its wake but the damage wasn't just houses and infrastructure you die also struck a body blow to malaria programs krishna ports on the medical crisis left by the storm. here in the village of. the waiting room at the medical center is overcrowded fourteen year old new and his mother are among those who have been waiting here for hours. beside my head always feel so

hot in the night i lost my appetite my legs feel heavy as if there's hardly any blood flowing through them. who says the village was destroyed when cyclonic guy tore through the area flattening most buildings and destroying them and the subsequent flooding even the medical center was damaged by a falling tree. the force of nature and the destruction are still visible all over . but while the reconstruction is continuing there is a major concern right now diseases and in particular malaria. some parts of the region are still submerged providing ideal breeding conditions for mosquitoes and his mother have had to sleep in the open with no protections against the insects since their home was destroyed you may get a bit don't have any mosquito nets i was swept away in the floods along with our

whole house no one has given us new nets. finally turned to see the doctor the only one at this clinic and fears confirmed he has malaria like so many others of the patients seen here by dr candy to add to it in recent weeks. if you disagree who is following this cycle and the number of malaria diarrhea cases has increased compared to previous months. and. i think some areas still waterlogged after the psycho and the floods that's where the mosquitoes breed we need to launch a campaign to stop the mosquitoes from spreading. mother receives the mets and he needs in exchange for a symbolic fee of one cents a good thing since that's just about all she can afford to pay now she can only hope that the drugs work and that she and moose will soon have

a roof as well as mosquito nets over their heads. ok i'm going to take you back to gone for a minute and have a look at a novel way of getting back scenes to the places they're needed the government has just launched a fleet of drones it's an ill rather part of an ambitious plan to leave the problems of providing access to medicines in the country roads for distribution bases off and vaccines are noted of the drones been flown to clinic each base will have the machines them service around five hundred clinics in an economics of radio it's hoped more than twelve million people will benefit from the that's around forty percent of kaunas occupation. that's it africa as always you can catch stories and on the news on our website facebook page we need your knowledge images of the millions march protest in the sudanese capital by phone.

what's the value of a human being. about ten euro's in purely chemical terms. in this brave new world we're constantly being analyzed and really valued. our people nothing but commodities. what tell you doesn't individual have. made in germany next. the

protests. are in full swing and we are standing here. at the last plenary session of this particular european parliament because we'll have a new one coming and the result of that election is going to be closely monitored in africa the continent took all the chance yes of a complex relationship with europe elections play better. in forty five minutes. sleep. carefully. to suit the need to do good.
