Looking ahead to World Malaria Day - 25 April: Together Against Malaria in Kibara
–
25 April is World Malaria Day. A day on which worldwide attention is drawn to the fight against malaria, a disease that still threatens millions of lives. For us as Koroboi Foundation, this is also an important moment to reflect on the situation in Kibara and our cooperation with St. Mary's Hospital. Because it is precisely there - in the heart of Tanzania - that the impact of malaria is felt every day. And that is precisely where we can make a difference together.
Malaria: Still a Life-Threatening Disease
Malaria remains one of the world's most deadly infectious diseases. Every year, more than 240 million malaria infections reported, with more than 600,000 dead, the vast majority of which are in sub-Saharan Africa. Children under five and pregnant women are particularly at risk.
In regions such as around Kibara, malaria is common, partly due to the warm climate and the presence of stagnant water in which the malaria mosquito thrives. However, malaria is both treatable and largely preventable - provided there is access to proper resources and medical care.
The role of St Mary's Hospital
St Mary's Hospital in Kibara plays a crucial role in the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of malaria. Doctors and nurses work day and night to help patients in time. Thanks to donations, the hospital can:
- Making rapid tests and medication available
- Distribute mosquito nets, especially to vulnerable groups
- Educating the population on protection against mosquito bites
