A concerted effort to control malaria in Africa has produced dramatic reductions in childhood death in the past decade. This early success has prompted the global community to commit to eradication of malaria deaths and eventually all transmission. Evidence suggests that this is a feasible goal using currently available interventions, augmented with newer tools such as vaccines, which are in development. Malaria deaths are entirely preventable now, and our sustained political and financial commitment to continue to prevent these deaths hangs in the balance.
在过去十年中，非洲齐心协力控制疟疾，使儿童死亡率显著下降。这一早期成功促使全球社会致力于消除疟疾死亡，并最终消除所有传播。有证据表明，利用现有的干预措施，并增加疫苗等新工具（正在开发中），这是一个可行的目标。现在疟疾死亡是完全可以预防的，我们持续的政治和财政承诺来继续预防这些死亡，这一切都取决于我们。
