Where did it all go wrong?
Article Abstract:
The failure of the international agencies like World Health Organization (WHO), in achieving their malaria performance targets could be attributed to political reasons as WHO was not been successful in providing adequate funding to campaigns like Roll Back Malaria (RBM) and has not been vocal in holding the foreign-aid donors accountable for lack of funding. Public agencies and officials should be held responsible for not achieving their target for reducing malaria deaths.

Tackling tuberculosis
Article Abstract:
Tuberculosis (TB) is one of the deadliest killer diseases in the world but more importance is being given to AIDS in terms of funding, research and treatment. Instead of having rivalry between AIDS and TB, there is need for collaboration between TB and AIDS research and treatment and new drug combinations for effective treatment of TB should be discovered.
