Peter, aren't you kicking down an open door here ?

The World Health Organisation (WHO) reversed its 30-year policy on the use of DDT as an indoor residual spray last year.

The WHO also supported the successful free distribution of treated nets in Kenya that I have reported above.

In short, it seems that the WHO are not being dogmatic. They recommend the use of both sprays and nets. They also seem to be prepared to examine and (re-examine) the evidence and change their mind and their policy.

All of which may take too long and their efforts might also seem ineffective when judged on a cost/benefit basis but WHO initiatives are at least saving lives while others are counting the beans or waving the flag for their favoured 'solution'.

And one final thought : Is a cost/benefit analysis of saved lives possible or even desirable ?
