The nations belonging to the Southern African Development Community (SADC) have set themselves the goal of eliminating malaria from the region by 2015. To focus attention on the disease and on elimination efforts, next week (beginning 16th November) will be Malaria Week in the region.

Events are planned in all the SADC countries and health ministers will be meeting in Limpopo, South Africa to discuss what now needs to be done to reach the elimination goal.
