Papua New Guinea is battling the world's oldest pandemic: malaria. How can it get back on track?

This International Day of the World’s Indigenous Peoples (Aug. 9), the UN called for a new social contract, one that expresses genuine cooperation and partnership for the common good to ensure that “no one is left behind” and to put a stop to exclusion and marginalization.

More than 90% of India’s reported malaria cases were concentrated in just eight states, all of which have significant tribal populations.
