Insert in News the day February 2, 2010
From 7 to 13 February 2010, the Ivo de Carneri Foundation will be present on the Mediaset networks with its spot on malaria. Realized to raise awareness on this parasitic disease and the number of deaths linked to it every day, the 30-second video will be shown as part of the space allowed free on Mediaset campaigns of social utility.
Every year, malaria affects about 250 million and kills nearly one million people worldwide, of which most are children. The Ivo de Carneri Foundation realizes health interventions in poor countries, especially against parasitic diseases and poverty diseases. Among these, since the 2003 the Foundation supports a Dispensary where maternal child care is offered free of charge, with an average of 100 examinations every day for three days a week. In addition to the local surgery, on two days of the week there is a mobile service that runs a car to reach remote places to assist people who cannot get to the dispensary.
