Reducing Malaria’s Burden: Evidence
of Effectiveness for Decision Makers
|
|
 Today, with the advent of malaria genome mapping, vaccine development, and new research and development for therapeutics to replace drugs such as chloroquine that have become ineffective due to widespread drug resistance, there is renewed hope that the terrible scourge of malaria will ultimately be conquered. However, such promising developments are years — if not decades — from fruition. They will also take significant time and resources to implement, and may initially be prohibitively expensive. Until such advancements become a reality, a number of effective therapies and strategies to prevent and treat malaria are available and drastically underutilized.
Reducing Malaria’s Burden: Evidence of Effectiveness for Decision Makers, a new Global Health Council technical report, is written in collaboration with leading malaria researchers and public health professionals. It seeks to highlight the best scientific evidence currently available to help decision makers in their efforts to alleviate malaria’s deadly toll. The report also identifies the significant opportunities and challenges faced when implementing such interventions and the gaps in knowledge that require further research.
