A winning Strategy in Combating Malaria Malaria is a global crisis. One fifth of the world's population is at risk of malaria. The proportion increases yearly as a result of climate change, environmental damage, breakdowns in healthcare and war. Reliable statistics on malaria show that there are 400 million cases of malaria illness each year: at least one million people die annually as a result of malaria. The burden and ills of malaria has created adverse and devastating impact on the physical, mental and social well being of our people as well as development of the nation. Malaria morbidity and mortality affect all age group. It makes the poor poorer. It effect is felt both in the rural and urban communities.
The [ITMF], has taken up the challenge to embark on an aggressive mission of malaria eradication in Africa as a whole, with an initial focus on Nigeria.Malaria is a leading deadly disease in our region today. we must all work together in the spirit of meaningful collaboration and togetherness in rolling back the years of malaria epidemic in our nation.
After a deep review of various data and situation analysis,
coupled with our in-depth research on malaria generally, the ITMF developed
the " ITMF MALARIA ERADICATION STRATEGIC ACTION PLAN ".The aim of the Plan is
to put up a five year strategic Plan towards the eradication of Malaria in
Africa, with an initial focus on Nigeria, Ghana, Benin, Namibia, Tanzania and
Zimbabwe.An important component of ITMF's Malaria Eradication Strategic Action
Plan is its first step action agenda, termed " ITMF OPERATION GLOBAL MOSQUITO
INCAPACITATION PROGRAMME ".The ITMF Operation Global Mosquito Incapacitation
Programme is an aggressive malaria preventive mission that will involve the
application of the effective and environment-friendly insect repellent paint
and distribution of other vector destruction tools, anti-malaria drugs and
insecticide nets in all Public Homes and Institutions, Schools, Hospitals,

Through this tedious, but progressive strategy, ITMF will offer hope to the
urban and rural families, while at the same bring succor to the people mostly
affected by the malaria disease.
