Artemisinin is a powerful antimalarial drug, but in Southeast Asia’s Mekong region, malaria parasites have developed resistance, threatening communities & global health.
With
@GlobalFund support, since 2014 the Regional Artemisinin-resistance Initiative (RAI) has cut cases in half, nearly eliminated drug-resistant malaria in four countries, and trained 35,000 local health workers to test, treat and protect communities.
Strong health systems today prevent crises tomorrow.
