Government Neglect
The current government cannot eradicate malaria because of its extreme neglect of health services. One proof of this is the reactionary government's abolition of the Malaria Control Service five years ago. The agency used to monitor and treat malaria up to the barrio level.
The task of addressing the problem of malaria has been relegated to a desk at the Department of Health. Due to lack of funds, its work is confined to monitoring reported cases of malaria. There is a dearth of medicine for malaria even in health centers in areas where the disease is most widespread.
