Will rewrite it for clear clarification. Thanks for the feedback.

Wondering what the perfect solution to the problem will be.

Hello, I wrote this myself just tweak it a little with ChatGPT. This is the original content. Summary of key points: 

  • Have a model community within entrenched places that house malaria to allow them a change of identity towards a malaria-free world 
  • Work with the government to enforce a policy on mandatory cleaning of the environment and good house planning.
  • Educate and work with religious head/community leaders in each locality on how to live in an environment cleanly place.



 

Malaria: Vaccine or Environmental issue?

        The scourge of Malaria has been with us for quite some time, especially in Africa where it is prevalent leading to a huge mortalitrateste every year. In an attempt to stem the tide, the use of vaccines was developed as an antidote to fighting the disease through concerted efforts of leading scientists worldwide with positive results over the years that gardens the heart. 

          However, the use of vaccines could be drastically reached if the environmental issue or factors leading to malaria is addressed head-long. In the area of sensitization, we need to do more in taking the message to the grassroots with. a view to changing people's orientation cum ways of life thereby leading to a malaria-free world. In rural communities, our people need to be educated on living a healthy life free of malaria and other tropical diseases through serious advocacy which could be done through partnership with relevant government agencies as well as non-governmental organizations. 

             Furthermore, religious leaders can also be co-opted into giving a helping hand owing to their closeness with people at the grassroots. Community leaders too also have roles to play in the fight against malaria being the symbol of authority in their respective localities. For instance, in the northern part of Nigeria, community leaders command so much respect that their utterance (s) carry so much weight that if such people are given any role to play, the result will be immediately felt across the length and breadth of such a community. 

             Enactment of the relevant law (s) by the government in tackling the menace ( environmental sanitation bodies ) should as a matter of urgency be activated or where it exists should be further worked on in an attempt to get a better result. 

               In conclusion, a model community where all effort is to be concentrated on eradicating Malaria as a disease can be set up through the provision of necessary incentives by organizations such that at the end of it all, such a community will serve as a buffer zone in addition to being a model worthy of being emulated by others.
