Morning Briefing

In this TIME "Ideas" opinion piece, David Bowen, CEO of Malaria No More, writes that with the right resources and political will, an end to malaria is possible. He recounts progress made against the disease, citing a report by the WHO released Tuesday that shows "deaths from malaria have fallen by more than 25 percent globally since 2000 -- and by more than five percent in the last year alone," and writes, "Despite these gains, much more needs to be done. The unacceptable fact still remains that malaria claims a child's life in Africa every minute. The world has begun to mobilize the skills, resources and innovative genius needed to end this terrible death toll."
