Malaria treatment: no place like home
چکیده انگلیسی

If the United Nations Millennium Development Goals are to be met, there is a need to improve access to effective antimalarial treatment where the burden of malaria is highest. Health facilities are often bypassed by communities, and inappropriate and poor-quality self-medication is common. The home management of malaria (HMM) strategy has been shown to have an effect on malaria morbidity and mortality in the chloroquine era, but several evidence gaps remain to be filled to confirm its value in the era of artemisinin-based combination therapies. Nevertheless, if a substantial reduction of the malaria burden is to be achieved, access to effective medicines has to be vastly improved, and in most of sub-Saharan Africa, this will have to be through HMM.
