Dumped Waste is a Threat to the Fight Against Malaria

Dumped waste, most often irregularly evacuated is a threat to the fight against malaria.
This waste provide mosquitoes with fertile breeding grounds.
I think that bed nets use, sensitization and distribution should be promoted along side a actively promoting waste-free.
What's your opinion?

The fight against malaria is a serious matter for the whole world especially in the developing countries.
Therefore, the issue of waste dumping should also be taking seriously by some donors and environmentalists.
This is so because, for the passed years, so much money is been used towards the fight against malaria but the cases are still there.
In this regard, I want to suggest that donors again start paying attention to waste management systems.
For instance, we could start converting these wastes for other purposes like bio-gas system, and also other electrical power supply processes especially in Africa.

Waste management is a crucial issue for developing countries. Its not just malaria but a host of other diseases that could be spread because of accumulated waste. I completely agree with Sahr. Conversion of organic waste into biogas should be the norm. We have these guidelines in the newspapers frequently to stop any waste material like pots or containers from collecting water and hence stopping mosquitoes from breeding.
