'Malaria deaths dropped by half between 2011 and 2012- the most significant decline in recent decades, health officials have announced.'~Phnom Penh Post, 21 January 2013

It would seem that the dispersal of free mosquito nets and free diagnosis, education, and treatment at the village level are the main reasons for this increasingly successful battle against malaria.
