Abstract:
Head and shoulders, full face; wearing suit and tie, glasses. Verso: WHO/836. WHO's WHO. World war against malaria: more than 1000 million human beings live under the threat of malaria. In 1955 the World Health Assembly, that year meeting in Mexico, resolved to eliminate this scourge from the face of the earth as rapidly as possible- mosquitoes, it had been found, were showing resistance to modern insecticides. Each afflicted country, under the overall international co-ordination of WHO, and often with international help, is massing its efforts to eradicate malaria once and for all. 76 countries are joined in this aim. Dr. Emilio Pampana (Italy), who joined WHO in 1946, is Director of the Division of Malaria Eradication which came into being in 1, December 1957. (It was previously the Malaria Section of the Division of Communicable Diseases Services). Dr. Pampana who studied at the Universities of Pisa, Florence and the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, previously held various posts, including that of Deputy Director-General of Public Health of Albania. He has written some fifty publications on malaria, tropical medicine, hygiene and microbiology. Malaria - General story 14.
