Scientists, health workers and politicians met Sunday, November 13 in Cameroon to discuss new ways to battle malaria and increase awareness of the deadly disease, which kills thousands a day. Some 1,500 participants from 65 countries are expected to attend the six-day conference to discuss critical research on all aspects of malaria control, said Louis Da Gama, a spokesman for the UK-based group Massive Effort Campaign and co-organizer of the event.
