Business and malaria: a neglected threat?

Business and malaria, a report of the Global Health Initiative (GHI) of the World Economic Forum, is the largest and most comprehensive report ever on the impact of malaria on business. The report found that 72% of Sub-Saharan African businesses are affected by malaria. In response, the GHI launched a set of guidelines to encourage and assist businesses in Africa to take a more proactive role in the fight against malaria by setting up workplace based schemes.
