| DDT, or Dichloro-diphenyl-trichloroethane, was first discovered in 1874 by German chemist Othmar Zeidler. So last December, at a convention of regional health ministers held in Kampala, Jim Muhwezi, an army officer and member of parliament who today serves as Uganda's minister of health, announced the launch of a new campaign against the epidemic, using Dichloro-diphenyl-trichloroethane, or DDT. |
