Full Prescription; better malaria treatment for more people, MSF’s experience

Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) says current malaria tests and treatments could cure far more cases of the disease, but only if they reach all those who need them. And that will only happen if the tests and treatments are available free. The organization has reached this conclusion in the light of its experiences in Chad, Mali and Sierra Leone.

These experiences and the implications are detailed in a report available here.
