Can malaria be eliminated?
This taboo was abruptly broken when, on 17 October 2007,Melinda and Bill Gates announced
to a somewhat startled audience of malaria experts attending a forum in Seattle that malaria
eradication is now the goal of their foundation,a declaration quickly endorsed by Dr Chan on
behalf of WHO and subsequently by the Roll Back Malaria Partnership.

Efforts to control malaria can conveniently be divided into four periods.
,Recent reports from a number of countries in Africa with moderate levels of transmission
indicate that a high level of malaria control can be achieved using existing control tools.
Towards a research agenda for global malaria elimination
there are an estimated three billion people at risk of the disease'; or '300–600 million episodes
of clinical falciparum malaria occur each year, killing between one and three million
individuals annually'; or 'the global burden of malaria exceeds 40 million disability-adjusted
life years'.
, The statement has had three noticeable effects: (i) almost immediately, other agencies,
hithertocommitted to control, jumped on the eradication band wagon, (ii) it put the goal of
'elimination', if not yet of 'eradication', on the global agenda with a notional target date of
2025, and (iii) the notion of elimination by 2025
