UNAIDS eration is the high probability that the epidemic has a huge potential to explode. And lastly, the limited or the diminishing resources allocated by the government and other stakeholders could hamper the implementation of necessary programs to fully achieve the goal. Malaria About 3 percent of the population in the Southeast Asian region dies annually of malaria. 12 Accordingly, half of the global community is at risk of malaria. Malaria is a mosquito-borne disease that has been eradicated in North America, Europe and Russia, but still prevalent in Africa, Central and South America, the Middle East, the Indian subcontinent, and Southeast Asia including the Philippines. The country has been listed by the World Health Organization (WHO) 12 “MDG International Assessment 2010. UNDP. 13 Philippine Malaria Country Profi le. 2008. 14 Villanueva & Santiago. 2006. Combat HIV/AIDS, malaria and other diseases. 15 IRIN Website. 112 SOCIAL WATCH PHILIPPINES As shown in Figures 5 & 6, the global community has all the means and resources to prevent the emergence of new HIV/AIDS cases, reduce HIV related illnesses and death and mitigate the epidemic’s effects across various societies. among the ten (10) malaria endemic countries in the Western Pacifi c Region. In the Philippines, 57 of the 79 provinces are malaria endemic 13 (see Figures 7 & 8). However, 90 percent of cases are only found in 25 provinces. 14 Only Cebu, Leyte and Catanduanes are malaria-free. In 2008, DOH declared six more provinces malaria-free, bringing the total to 22 out of 81 provinces. The provinces of Marinduque, Sorsogon, and Albay in Luzon; Eastern and Western Samar in the Visayas; and Surigao del Norte in Mindanao were declared malaria-free after having had no reported indigenous cases for fi ve consecutive years. In 2006, Benguet, Cavite and Masbate were classifi ed malaria-free. The 13 other provinces were pronounced free of the disease in 1999, and remain so today. 15 Malaria is a mirror of poverty in the Philippines. The areas where the disease
Figure 7. Frequency distribution of reported malaria cases 1991-2001 Visayas 1% Luzon 46% Mindanao 53% is prevalent are among the most impoverished in the country where accessibility and availability of health information and services remains elusive, as most of them are in the rural and hard to reach areas. The ADB report indicated that malaria is no longer a serious health problem and no longer a leading cause of death in the country. 16 In a separate article, malaria cases were said to have been decreasing since the 1990’s. 17 However, recorded fi gures tell otherwise with an increasing trend from 1999 (see Figure 9 & Table 2). In 2006, the number of malaria cases was estimated to be 124,152 cases. 18 Figure 9. Reported malaria by type and quality, 2004.
