Nearly a million people die every year from malaria, most of them African children. April 25th is World Malaria Day, an annual event that brings global attention to the plight of families suffering from this devastating - and preventable - disease. To mark the day in the U.S., PANNA brought together public health and environmental experts to urge the President's Malaria Initiative to support safe solutions to malaria control, and move away from spraying pesticides like DDT inside people's homes.
