Remarks at the First Anniversary of African Malaria Control Day

"One year after, it is encouraging to have the International Community begin to pay more attention to the problem of Malaria in Africa. I am gratified to learn that the UN General Assembly decided, on the recommendation of the General Committee, to include at its 55th session on item in its agenda proclaiming 2001 - 2010 to be a decade for rolling back Malaria in Africa." - Dr. Salim, April 25, 2001
