World Malaria Day

President George W. Bush scheduled Malaria Awareness Day on April 25 in 2007. President Bush urged Americans to join in on the fight against malaria on the African continent in his proclamation. President Bush declared Malaria Awareness Day on April 25, 2006, a day when we concentrate our attention on those who suffer from this deadly disease, especially the millions on Africa's continent. Millions more people died as a result of this completely preventable and treatable disease. We are encouraged to spread the word of malaria as a compassionate world, and we're encouraged to take action. That's what compassionate people do. They act when they see a problem. We're here to talk about, and that's what we're here to talk about. We renew our pledge to lead the world toward an urgent challenge, and that is to turn the tide against malaria in Africa and around the world on this special day. President Bush also announced the White House's long-term malaria policy with the public, which was also shared with the public by President Bush. With the New York-based nonprofit group Malaria No More, two new ventures in Uganda and Madagascar were able to distribute millions of life saving bed nets.
