A LOOK AT malaria in Malawi: “Director of Preventive Health Services Dr. Habib Somanje defends government decision to use DDT to destroy malaria, arguing that it (DDT) shall only be used in indoor sprays. Somanje observes that DDT can reduce malaria drastically as it sticks to walls for many weeks, thereby curbing malaria and saving the lives of children. . . . According to statistics 40 percent of all deaths in children are caused by malaria, as established in 2000 report by the World Bank.”
