"Contributions to WHO are being used to free communities from a range of
dangerous infectious diseases. Some, like malaria, kill mainly children.
Others, like the disfiguring Guinea worm and noma infections, are linked to
poor access to clean water and other aspects of poverty.
This week, see stories about how contributions have been translated into action
in Cabo Verde, where years of persistent effort have eliminated malaria; in
Panama, where community collaborators are filling a health-services gap in
hard-to-reach villages; and in Paraguay, where teams are going from one
neighborhood to the next, removing the breeding grounds of the mosquitoes that
transmit dengue fever.
Read also about work under way in Angola to eradicate Guinea worm disease,
Cameroon’s significant progress in reducing HIV, success against hepatitis B in
Maldives and Sri Lanka, and fighting back against cholera outbreaks in Zambia
and Zimbabwe."
