Health care for sick babies
Women wait by their sick babies while they receive treatment, in the municipal hospital of M'banza Congo, Zaíre province. Pregnant women and children under age 5 in Angola are among the groups most vulnerable to the scourge of malaria. USAID with the President's Malaria Initiative provides mosquito bed nets, anti-malarial drugs, presumptive treatment for pregnant women, and training and capacity building for better malaria diagnosis and treatment - key preventative and treatment measures to reduce both the incidence and deadly impact of the disease.
