World must retain focus on anti-malaria fight, says expert
Despite recent achievements in fighting malaria, the international community must not become complacent or distracted, says Dr. Steven Phillips, medical director of global issues and projects for ExxonMobil. Phillips, who also serves on the board of Malaria No More, spoke with allAfrica.com ahead of World Malaria Day, reflecting on progress in the fight against the disease.
When we spoke last year you were very positive about the battle against malaria, citing increased funding, the availability of good tools to fight the disease and greater political will. Are you still as positive now as you were then?
