Kampala, Uganda — For Milly Nakazzi, an assistant nursing officer at Uganda 's Kiruddu National Referral Hospital, the fact that at least six of every 10 patients she treats have malaria is business as usual.
As the world commemorates World Malaria Day on April 25, Uganda continues to struggle with the disease, accounting for 5.4 percent of global cases and ranking third among high-burden countries, according to the country's Ministry of Health. Despite these global complexities, Henry Kyobe, head of the Ministry of Health's Incident Management Team, said China has not given up on helping Uganda combat malaria, adding that China has provided technical and medical assistance in the fight against the scourge.
"As a country, we are at high risk of malaria due to our climatic conditions. Therefore, this generous donation of anti-malarial drugs will be helpful in the fight against malaria and in controlling the malaria epidemic, especially in high-risk areas," Aceng said.There was a problem processing your submission.
