Everyone is aware of the annoyance mosquitoes create however, what is important is the drastic change in a person’s health a simple mosquito bite can cause. Guyana is well known for its vast forests where many males engage in mining and logging, and while these activities contribute to the well-being of many Guyanese and development of the economy, malaria poses a challenge.Over the years malaria has become a major public health problem in many countries, and in Guyana, Regions 1, 7, 8 and 9 are the areas where the disease is prevalent.In the 1940s and 1950s more than one-third of the Guyanese patients in hospitals and almost 20 percent of all deaths were due to malaria. The renowned malaria scientist, George Giglioli, used DDT to stop malaria on the coast of Guyana, where almost 90 percent of the population lives, and as a result of that intervention, now, over 60 years later, malaria has not returned to the coast.The average number of malaria cases in Guyana annually between 1991 and 1998 was approximately 48,805,Cheap Jerseys Wholesale, and in response to that government’s efforts in 1999 and 2000 were directed at reducing the numbers.Malaria typesMalaria is a disease caused by the presence of very small parasites in the blood. It is spread by the ‘anopheles’ mosquito however, the disease is both preventable and treatable.There are three different types of malaria in Guyana: plasmodium falciparum, plasmodium vivax, and plasmodium malariae. Over 50 percent of the malaria cases in Guyana are of the most serious form – plasmodium falciparum. There are also cases of persons having a ‘mixed malaria infection’, a combination of the three types.Symptoms/treatmentMalaria symptoms occur at least seven to nine days after being bitten by an infected mosquito and include symptoms such as fever, chills, sweats, headache, body aches, nausea and vomiting and fatigue. Malaria may also cause anemia and jaundice. Importantly, the plasmodium falciparum infection if not promptly treated, may cause kidney failure, coma and even death.This disease can recur after treatment for three reasons,Wholesale China Jerseys, and is as a result of when parasites are not cleared by treatment, where re-infection indicates complete clearance with new infection established from a separate infective mosquito bite; however both can occur with any malaria parasite species.With regards to available treatment, the Health Ministry is working towards removing substandard malaria drugs from the market, principally in hinterland areas. The Ministry recognises there is a need for malaria treatment in the hinterland, and that there is a certain degree of ignorance and people sometimes are fooled by buying unauthorised drugs.Drugs such as Quartem are authorised and certified by the Pan American Health Organisation (PAHO) and Guyana has an abundance of such drugs, hence persons are advised against purchasing inferior drugs.It is important to note that malaria is preventable through the use of medications,Supply NFL Jerseys Factory, mosquito eradication and the prevention of bites.Globally, while many countries have eradicated malaria, they are seeing an increasing number of imported malaria cases owing to extensive travel and migration.?Social responsibilityCitizens’ activities also play a role in preventing the spread of malaria, and in this regard, community participation and?health education?strategies promoting awareness of malaria and the importance of control measures have been successfully used to reduce the incidence of malaria in some areas of the developing world.Since Guyana signed onto the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs),Cheap Nike NFL Jerseys, overall records indicate steady progress towards this sixth MDG of combating HIV/AIDS, malaria and other diseases. Reports show positive news for malaria control, with prevalence rates confirming that the country has succeeded in meeting the target of reducing the incidence of the disease.Decline in malaria casesThe prevalence of malaria has decreased from 5,084 per 100,000 persons in 2005 to 1,541 per 100,000 persons in 2008. This improvement can be attributed to successes in prevention efforts, as well as in the detection and treatment of contracted cases.? The priorities include improving compliance with treatment, and overcoming the logistical difficulties associated with detection, treatment and monitoring of interventions.Insecticide-Treated?Mosquito Nets?(ITNs) and?Indoor Residual Spraying?(IRS) have been shown to be highly effective vector control interventions in preventing malaria morbidity and mortality among children in malaria-endemic settings.In 2010, the Ministry of Health introduced a new alternative, the BTI bacteria to reduce the mosquito population.

One of the country’s most prominent business entities, the Guyana Manufacturers and Services Association (GMSA),Authentic Jerseys Cheap, is calling for an urgent resolution to the CLICO issue.GMSA,Cheap NFL Jerseys Wholesale, in expressing its serious concerns via statement yesterday with regards to the length of time being taken in the determining of the status of CLICO (Guyana), said that “member companies of the association and employees, corporately and personally, have been severely affected and inconvenienced by the unfortunate developments of last year.”As a body representing the interests of these private sector companies, the GMSA in its statement said that it cannot ignore the rising hopelessness being expressed and called for strong and meaningful intervention.“The association’s concerns are particularly with the most vulnerable group, those employees who, having given of service over the years, have reached the age of retirement but are unable to receive the benefits which they have earned and are due to them.”The situation,nfl jerseys china, GMSA said, is made worse by the slow pace of the liquidation process and the uncertainty over the time required by the judicial system to have the situation resolved fairly.“While these activities are taking place, in and out of the courts, the sad stories can be heard about the unnecessary suffering being caused by the unavailability of health insurance, motor insurance and the pension. Suffering employees now have to find out of pocket monies for medical attention and, diabetic and hypertensive patients now have to pay, suffer or attend the public health facilities.”GMSA urged that the suffering and inconvenience must not be allowed to continue and, in the circumstances, called on “the responsible officers and functionaries in the various agencies and institutions to pursue whatever course is necessary to resolve the issue and to bring an end to the anxiety being experienced by those who deserve much better at this stage of their lives”.In February 2009, the Guyana government took steps to protect policy holders of CLICO Guyana, placing the running of the company under the watch of Maria Van Beek, Commissioner of Insurance, to act as the Judicial Manager.President Bharrat Jagdeo had made the announcement at a news conference, which was also attended by Van Beek and Dr Ashni Singh, Minister of Finance.He had stated that the legal move followed the financial market developments in parts of the Caribbean, and The Bahamas in particular.That country’s Supreme Court had only a few days before that announcement granted a winding-up order and appointed a liquidator for CLICO Bahamas Limited.President Jagdeo had given asurances that a comprehensive assessment of the local company’s finances would be obtained and greater protection would be offered to policyholders.“Government intends to work towards recovering the sums outstanding from the Bahamas,Cheap NFL Football Jerseys, and to protect the interests of all policyholders of CLICO (Guyana).
