May 22, 2009 - Major signs of progress across Africa in the fight against malaria, particularly the increase in distribution of insecticide-treated nets (ITNs), is one of the findings of the new ‘Malaria and Children, Progress in Intervention Coverage’ report that was released this past April.
However the report, a joint effort between the Roll Back Malaria (RBM) Partnership and The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, also highlights that the disease still causes an estimated 1 million deaths each year, most of these children in Africa.
Malaria control is now a major global development priority and is critical for achieving the Millennium Development Goals in Africa. The theme of this year’s World Malaria Day, which is marked on April 25, is "Counting malaria out", and there are now just over 600 days remaining until 31 December 2010, the Secretary-General’s deadline for all endemic countries to achieve universal coverage with essential malaria control interventions.
Financial Business Solutions Worldwide has teamed up with Regulatory Officials in receiving an appropriation for portfolio applicants in the amount of 50 million USD.
The appropriation is geared on helping project principals who seek to help solve the global malaria problem attain financing.
"We have been blessed with having this allocation to our company, and although its not money that is deposited in our bank, our lenders recognize the quality of applicants we bring in. For that they've reserved the 50 million for us to find qualified people who want it." said FBSW Officials.
Financial Business Solutions Worldwide has been increasing its efforts to promote the health, medicine, and human well being around the world.
Their recent attendance to national summits, and delegations has allowed them to develop an intricate source of funding resource programs.
Increased global awareness about malaria has contributed to a significant rise in available resources over recent years, thanks to The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, the US President’s Malaria Initiative, the World Bank, and others.
Since 2004 the number of insecticide-treated nets produced worldwide has more than tripled—from 30 million to 100 million in 2008. Based on manufacturers’ estimates, endemic African countries overall received enough nets during 2004–2008 to cover more than 40 per cent of their at-risk populations, and financing is now available to purchase an estimated 240 million additional nets in 2009–2010 putting Africa well on the way to achieving universal coverage by 2010.
Financial Business Solutions Worldwide has been key to recognize that the bulk of the problem seems to rest within the African continent and has declared financing appropriations will go to the areas that it can most help.
