Malaria is the poor cousin of many high-profile diseases and illnesses. It doesn't get the attention that say AIDS or cancer gets. Yet, silently and away from the affluent cities of the globe, malaria is killing so many lives. And destroying the productivity of people. Muyambi Ellady (32) of the Uganda Network on Toxic Free Malaria Control (UNETMAC) explains issues arising from his part of Eastern Africa, and the implications beyond.
