Care
©Suphak Nosten for SMG
In Eastern Myanmar (Burma), the Karen people have lived with malaria since centuries. In this region, all age groups are affected by very drug resistant strains of P.falciparum. This mother brings her children for testing at a malaria post recently established in her village as part of a program to eliminate the disease. Such malaria posts are now available in each village and are operated by the villagers themselves trained and equipped to diagnose and treat malaria cases. As a result of this intense effort, the number of malaria cases has plummeted and her children will be able to grow without experiencing the suffering she went through in her own childhood. -
