Current Conditions:
    Approximate Population of the Area: 100,000
Approximate Number ill with Malaria: 25,000

Give preventive drugs to those still healthy
These are the approximate costs:
Field hospital of 20 beds: $2000 per year
Drug treatment for ill: $2 per person for 1 year
Full anti-mosquito spray: $75,000 for one year, when using DDT. Other sprays have higher cost.
Preventive drug effective 1 year: 71 cent per person.
