Add to Cart Add to Lightbox DownloadDayana Makazi sits under an insecticide-treated bed net in her family's home in Goma, a city in the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo. The mosquito net was provided by IMA World Health as part of its work against malaria, which has long plagued the region. The DRC is the second-leading country in the world for malaria cases. An outbreak of Ebola in the region in 2018 was accompanied by a huge spike in malaria cases. The two diseases often present similar symptoms in their early stages, making both more difficult to diagnose and treat.
