| Updated Sun, April 30th 2017 at 00:00 GMT +3Seven in every ten Kenyans are at risk of catching malaria. Those who catch it are at the risk of becoming part of the 400,000 people in the world who die from malaria annually. But even as we await for trials of this vaccination programme, we should also look East and embrace the malaria medicine that has worked there for centuries. This is not just a marginal trial-and-error treatment since it was recommended by the World Health Organisation in 2001. Even more telling, China used the treatment to wipe out malaria in the Comoros, the tiny Western Indian Ocean Island.
