Understanding cables
Every cable message consists of three parts:
  • The top box shows each cables unique reference number, when and by whom it originally was sent, and what its initial classification was.
  • The middle box contains the header information that is associated with the cable. It includes information about the receiver(s) as well as a general subject.
  • The bottom box presents the body of the cable. The opening can contain a more specific subject, references to other cables (browse by origin to find them) or additional comment. This is followed by the main contents of the cable: a summary, a collection of specific topics and a comment section.
To understand the justification used for the classification of each cable, please use this WikiSource article as reference.

SUBJECT:  INSUFFICENT FUNDING FOR BURMA'S MALARIA EPIDEMIC 
 
 
1. (SBU) Summary:  Despite a gradual decline in morbidity and 
mortality from malaria over the last 10 years, malaria continues to 
be one of Burma's greatest health problems.  As the GOB has done 
little to provide the drugs and commodities needed to limit the 
spread of the disease, most of the burden to treat and prevent 
malaria in Burma falls on international organizations, such as WHO, 
JICA, UNICEF and the 3D Fund.  External funding for malaria 
prevention and treatment will likely fall short in 2007 by an 
estimated USD 3.2 million. The budget gap is expected to increase in 
coming years. End Summary. 
 
2. (U) Malaria continues to be one of the leading causes of 
morbidity and mortality in Burma.  WHO figures in 2005 place the 
morbidity rate at 9.14/1000 population and the mortality rate at 
3.08/100,000 population.  Though statistics demonstrate an overall 
decline in malaria since 1992, more than 38 million or 70 percent of 
Burma's population continues to live in at-risk areas.  WHO reports 
that Burma contributed 8 percent of total malaria cases in the South 
East Asia region, while contributing 58 percent of total malaria 
deaths. 
 
3. (SBU) Of the 178.5 million kyats (USD 150,000) the GOB allotted 
for their malaria program in 2006-2007, 170 million kyat or 95 
percent went to salaries and operational costs.  This left only 8.5 
million kyat (USD 7,000) or 5 percent for drugs and commodities to 
treat malaria patients.  External funding for malaria from UNICEF, 
JICA, WHO and 3D Fund reaches approximately USD 6.6 million for 
2007, according to WHO unofficial estimates.  Of this an estimated 
USD 4.4 million will fund drugs and commodities.  This figure will 
fall short of the estimated USD 7.6 million needed to pay for drugs 
and commodities in 2007, leaving a budget gap of about USD 3.2 
million.  Unofficial WHO estimates have the budget gap increasing to 
USD 4-5 million in 2008-2009. 
 
4. (SBU) Border populations remain at highest risk, especially those 
who engage in economic pursuits such as upland subsistence farming, 
forestry, logging, bamboo cutting, and rubber-tapping.  Capacity to 
reach these populations with services and information remains 
limited.  WHO hopes to have a situational analysis of the Thai-Burma 
border complete by the end of the year. 
 
5. (U) WHO says that additional investments for malaria control in 
Burma would help alleviate the shortage of anti-malaria drugs and 
commodities. Long Lasting Insecticidal Nets (LLIN), Insecticide kits 
to treat the nets, and Rapid Test Kits (RTK) are in short supply. 
Treated nets have proven to be an effective preventative measure. 
Early diagnosis and treatment would also help reduce the spread of 
the disease. 
 
6. (SBU) Comment: The GOB's woeful under-funding for anti-malarial 
drugs and commodities indicates their continued  unwillingness to 
confront and effectively combat the disease.  The shortfalls caused 
by the loss of Global Fund monies only increased pressure on other 
external donors, rather than spark a government response.  A 
well-informed government source told us the Health Minister, who has 
been cooperative with the UN and the INGOs, lacks the stature and 
courage to argue the case for greater healthcare funding to the 
senior generals.  Thus, the critical healthcare needs of Burma's 
people remain a low priority while the bridges and dams the generals 
see as hallmarks of development get built.  End Comment.
