Véu: um jeito simples de protegerO governo do Quênia, em parceria com a OMC (Organização Mundial de Saúde) e o Departamento Britânico para o Desenvolvimento Internacional, achou uma maneira simples para reduzir, aproximadamente à metade, as mortes por malária em áreas de maior risco.
O Ministério da Saúde queniano distribuiu à população milhões de redes tipo véu com tratamento inseticida, conseguindo assim reduzir à metade as mortes pela doença que mais mata no continente africano. São cerca de um milhão de mortes por ano, sendo 34 mil no Quênia. O programa de distribuição em massa das redes salva a vida de milhares de crianças e adultos e consegue reduzir o custo atual com o tratamento da doença.
