Besides investing in spraying, nets, and medicines to prevent malaria in pregnant women, PMI provides highly effective drugs formulated for children, such as artemisinin-based combination therapy (ACT), which are similar to the blister pack of yellow tablets shown here. The drugs are made from the ancient Chinese medicinal plant artemisia annua. Two tablets a day for three days will cure malaria in a child under-5. |
