The House of Representatives Committee on HIV, AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria Control has called for tough action against the prevalence of fake malaria drugs to curb the high rate of mortality due to malaria.
The committee’s position was contained in a statement issued by its Chairman, Amobi Ogah (LP, Abia), on Sunday to commemorate World Mosquito Day.
World Mosquito Day is observed annually on 20 August to celebrate British doctor Ronald Ross’s discovery in 1897 that female anopheline mosquitoes transmit malaria between humans. The theme for 2023 is “Fighting the World’s Deadliest Killer—the Mosquito. ”
