More than 140 million long-lasting insecticidal mosquito nets were delivered to the region between 2006 and 2008, protecting over 280 million lives, and doubling the number of households in Africa with access to a net.

"The 2009 WHO World Malaria Report demonstrates that we are succeeding in the global campaign to end deaths from a disease that takes the lives over one million people each year," said Ray Chambers, the UN Secretary-General's Special Envoy for Malaria.
