Guinea: Gearing Up for Malaria Season

Guinea: Gearing Up for Malaria SeasonApril 25, 2018Malaria is one of the leading killers of young children worldwide, even though it is both preventable and easily cured. Doctors Without Borders/M édecins Sans Frontières (MSF) treated 2.5 million people for malaria in 2017.Malaria tends to come in waves, seasonally, or at specific times of the year in zones where it is endemic. At any given time of year, there is a “malaria peak” somewhere in the world. We know that malaria season will come, and we know that it will cause the deaths of thousands of children.
