Policy
Malaria has been almost non existent in developed and westernized nations for many years now, however, the developing world, particularly Africa, still has a major issue caused by the disease. In fact, malaria is the number 1 killer of refugees in Africa, as described by the Nothing but Nets program, a United Nations Foundation, which attempts to 'cover' a continent using donations from volunteers. While awareness and preventive methods have been distributed, to a certain extent, the disease is still very much present and is hindering the economic growth and development of nations. The delegation of Iraq accepts past resolutions such as, A/60/L.44, which discuss an identical issue, and WHA 58.2, which discuss methods to control malaria outbreaks and the disease as a whole. Additionally, the 5th Multilateral Initiative on Malaria Pan African Malaria Conference, during the first week of November, 2009, helps increase awareness as well attempts to gain steps towards a complete resolution to the issue. This disease is partly caused by the poverty in developing regions, but is also partly causing the poverty. Roll Back Malaria (RBM) was launched in 1998, by WHO, UNICEF, UNDP, and World Bank. The World Health Organization has recommended greater use of Indoor Residual Spraying (IRS), one of the many methods preventing the spread of malaria. Another method WHO supports are the insectide treated nets (ITN's), as they do not require retreatment and are long lasting, in addition to being effective in protecting against malaria. A recent change to the administrative personnel of RBM has led to more cooperation and discussion with other organizations, such as Economic Community of Western African States (ECOWAS). The delegation of Iraq believes that not only do preventive measure need to be distributed on a larger scale, such as, but awareness of the disease, it’s causes, symptoms and treatment options available in order to have a chance of eradicating the disease entirely. Additionally, the delegation of Iraq sees cultural standards and beliefs to be another obstacle, which may cause people to hesitate when introduced to ‘westernized’ treatments. Cultural treatments must be investigated for effectiveness before modern treatments are prescribed, as this will guarantee a higher percentage of usage, and thus a lower prevalence of the disease.
