New research published in the British science journal The Lancet shows malaria kills twice as many people as previously thought.
The report states 1.2 million people were actually affected by the disease.

Uganda has one of the highest number of people known to be infected with the disease.
Al Jazeera's Malcolm Webb reports from the Kiboga District, in southwestern Uganda.
