The World Health Organization and several other United Nations agencies are calling for a major new effort to fight malaria, tuberculosis and AIDS。

These three infectious diseases killed almost 6 million people last year。

That is about 10 percent of the total number of deaths around the world last year。

The WHO and UN agencies released a new report at the World Economic Forum in New York City earlier this month。

The document says that deaths around the world from malaria and tuberculosis could be cut in half by the year 2010。

It also says the number of deaths from AIDS could be reduced 25 percent within that same time period.
The report is called “Calling Up the Response to Infectious Diseases.” It calls for huge new investments in methods to prevent and treat infectious diseases. Officials say money is needed for research and to purchase drugs. Money is also needed to devices to prevent diseases, such as bed nets。

Bed nets prevent mosquitoes that carry malaria from biting people while they sleep.
David Heymann，director of the infectious disease program at the World Health Organization，says that providing effective drug treatments is important for improving peoples’ health and economic well – being.
Reducing disease can also help improve economic growth in developing countries。

The WHO report also describes successful health programs in developing countries. In Peru，for example, the number of tuberculosis cases was cut in half by increasing the treatment to control the disease. In Vietnam, malaria was reduced 97 percent through the use of bed nets。

And in Uganda, cases of the virus that causes AIDS were cut in half among pregnant women and children through the use of anti – AIDS drugs。

This new international health campaign is estimated to cost about 12,000 million dollars a year. So far，officials say the campaign has about 2,000 million dollars. The WHO says the campaign will need stronger relationships among government, private aid agencies，and drug companies to succeed。

San Francisco，unofficially regarded as one of the homeless capitals of the US，counts nearly 6,500 homeless people, with 4,300 living on the street．
Among the many problems that the homeless face is little or no access to showers．San Francisco only has about 16 to 20 shower stations
to accommodate them．But Doniece Sandoval has made it her task to change that．
“Homelessness is something you can't really miss，”the 51—year—old woman said．She started Lava Mae，a sort of showers on wheels, a new project that aims to turn old city buses into shower stations for the homeless．
“One day I passed a woman in the street and she w as very dirty and basically crying,and I heard her say that she would never be clean．But I was wondering what her opportunities were to actually get clean，" Sandoval said．

One of Lava Mae’s biggest supporters is Bevan Dufty，the director of Housing Opportunity, Partnerships & Engagement under the mayor of San Francisco．“For people who are unhoused，access to showers is very difficult．Shower buses are something that could potentially be deployed (部署)in response to an emergency，so it is relevant to all San Franciscans，" Dufty said．“Doniece has done an incredible job as a citizen who cares
about helping the poor．We are very excited to see Lava Mae become real soon．”
Each bus will have two shower stations and Sandoval expects that by 2015,they’ll be able to provide 2000 showers a week．

People who do not get enough vitamin A in their diet may develop night blindness．But in the developing world a lack of vitamin A causes much more serious harm to children．The World Health Organization links the lack of vitamin A to as many as 250．000 child deaths every year．One excellent source of vitamin A is found in sweet potatoes with orange flesh．Orange sweet potatoes contain high levels of beta—carotene （胡萝卜素），which our body can change into vitamin A．Experts say orange sweet potatoes specially bred （育种,培植）for growing conditions in Africa
could help solve the lack of vitamin A there．
But, first, more people will need to be persuaded to eat them．Jan Low with the International Potato Center, a research organization says the sweet potato needs a better image in Africa．Jan Low says,… We do have an image problem with sweet potato in general in sub-Saharan Africa．It
is seen as a crop of the poor．" Ms Low explains that sweet potatoes are mainly grown by poor women to feed their families in case another crop fails．The sweet potatoes commonly grown if Africa have white or yellow flesh．But, more importantly, they are low in vitamin A．

Dan Gustafson heads the Washington office of the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization．He points to efforts in the past to increase the popularity of other nutritious crops．He says most of these efforts failed because organizers of the campaigns did not consider what people wanted to eat．But Mr．Gustafson sees a better chance for the efforts to increase the popularity of the orange sweet potato in Africa．For one thing, except for the color, the vegetable is similar to what people already use．
