The Corporate Alliance on Malaria in Africa (CAMA) and partners are hosting a three-part dialogue series between March and May 2021 to mobilize the private sector, government and key stakeholders in the global health community towards continued commitment and increased investment in malaria elimination.
Despite the unprecedented challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, countries around the world have held the line by working to protect recent historic gains against malaria, thereby saving hundreds of thousands of lives.
Long-term success in reaching a malaria-free world within a generation is far from assured, however. A coordinated, intentional, and focused effort is urgently required. The private sector has a critical role to play through raising awareness within workforces and communities, as well as by investing in efforts to end malaria.

In an article published Dec. 20, “Critics say use of police dogs warrant changes,” the author alludes to “critics” and says “some are also calling for reforms,” but no critics or groups are mentioned.
In the article, there was only a single mention of one possible change for the Gainesville Police Department. The warranted change was to train dogs to circle fleeing felons.
As the article states, it is true that K-9 handlers can only release dogs to chase and bite suspected murderers and rapists, not pot smokers and fraudulent check writers. The possibility that a man running from police after sexually assaulting a minor would stop because a barking dog is circling him seems to be far fetched if not downright ridiculous.
