WHO calls on malaria-endemic countries to strengthen monitoring of antimalarial drug efficacy
WHO is calling on countries to be increasingly vigilant in monitoring antimalarial drug efficacy in order to allow for early detection of artemisinin resistance.1 This is one among several conclusions of the Global report on antimalarial drug efficacy and drug resistance: 2000–2010, released today. The report is based on 1100 studies conducted by national malaria control programs and research institutes over the ten-year period.
