Description
Tanzanian village hospital. The interior of one of the wards in a traditional medicine hospital in a Tanzanian village in Africa. The young girl on the right has been suffering from malaria but is now cured. Together with her sister and mother she has been sleeping under the only mosquito net in the ward. Malaria is a growing problem in the tropics due to the emergence of drug-resistant strains of the malarial parasite (Plasmodium. sp.), which is transmitted to humans by the bite of an infected mosquito. The disease kills around a million children in Africa every year.
