Malaria stunts the economies of countries in the tropics, curbing growth by
1.3 per cent per year, according to a team from the Centre for International
Development at Harvard University and the London School of Hygiene and Tropical
Medicine. Their report, commissioned by the World ÎçÒ¹¸£Àû1000¼¯ºÏ Organization and
published this week, says an immediate funding increase of $1 billion is
needed to control the disease, and that this would immediately save regions
where malaria is endemic up to $12 billion a year on treatment and lost
productivity.
