Malaria, a Pending Problem in Sub-Saharan Africa

Human Malaria is still a serious problem in sub-Saharan Africa and the risk exists throughout the region. It is a real fact that most malaria cases and deaths occur in subSaharan Africa. This region has some of the poorest countries of the world with 90% of deaths occurring (approximately 3,000 deaths each day) [1]. The disease remains one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in the tropics. It is the most important and widespread of the tropical deadly diseases.
