Eradicating malaria by 2050 would be 'an achievement of historic proportions', say experts
According to a major report by 41 leading scientists, health-policy experts and economists, the world could be free of malaria by 2050. The report says the idea is no longer a distant dream, but that eradicating one of history’s oldest and deadliest diseases will take “ambition, commitment and partnership like never before.”
"If we, humankind, were to take on this challenge and eradicate malaria by 2050, it would be an achievement of historic proportions. There would be nothing quite like it," said Richard Feachem, Co-Author of the report.
To achieve the target, governments, scientists and public health experts would need to inject an extra two-billion dollars of funding each year and experts have called the possibility of eradication a “goal of epic proportions.”
