The World Health Organisation reports that half of the world's population is at risk of Malaria, and an estimated 243 million cases led to nearly 863 000 deaths in 2008.

The renewed effort to control malaria worldwide and move towards elimination in some countries is founded on the latest generation of effective tools and methods for prevention and treatment. Increasing use of long-lasting insecticide nets (LLINs), artemisinin-based combination therapies (ACTs) and indoor residual spraying (IRS) of insecticide provides an unprecedented opportunity to control and, in selected countries, eliminate malaria.
