World Malaria Day on 25 April, has had the support of the Archbishop of Canterbury as Dr Rowan Williams has demonstrated his support by recording a message for the first time to urge others to unite in the fight against malaria. He said: "Half the world's population is at risk from malaria, about a million people die because of it every year and not surprisingly the cost is higher amongst those most vulnerable and the youngest." The support for the global coalition, United Against Malaria, aims to renew worldwide commitment to ending malaria. The Archbishop added: "It is an opportunity to put our energy and imagination behind the goal, the achievable goal remember, of eliminating Malaria. Let's hope that can be obtained, we must do it."
