Tanzania - Malaria surges after DDT ban A total ban on the use of DDT in Tanzania was introduced in 1992, following one of the most effective American environmental campaigns in recent history. But anti-malaria campaigners claim that, by banning DDT, the west is placing more importance in environmental issues than saving lives in the developing world.

Tanzania - Malaria surges after DDT ban At a national conference on malaria control to be held later this month, Chacha Mungraho, the lead EHO working for the Tanzanian health department combating malaria, will be calling for the controlled spraying of DDT by public health officials on walls in high-risk malaria areas. The spray lasts up to a year on hut walls and is proven to be the most effective way of combating the disease.

Tanzania - Malaria surges after DDT ban “Each year 100,000 people in Tanzania die from malaria and we want to save their lives,” Mr Mungraho told EHN. “The question is why can’t we use DDT? The alternative is eight times as expensive and the mosquitoes are developing resistance quickly. If the west does not want poor countries to use DDT then it should provide an alternative.”
