Malaria is not really something we worry about. Yet around 40% of the world's population lives in areas where malaria occurs. An estimated 200 million people contract the disease every year. Around 600,000 die, three quarters of whom are children under the age of five. One person who is trying to change this is Dr Benedikt Ley. He is a public health expert specialising in diagnostics, malaria and G6PD deficiency and found Munich too cold. That's why he has been living in Darwin for ten years.
