• Resumen

  • The article focuses on the President's Malaria Initiative (PMI) which was begun in 2005 under U.S. President George W. Bush. It states the program is based on testing and treatment with artemisinin-based drugs, preventive treatment of pregnant women, insecticide-treated mosquito nets, and indoor spraying. It mentions PMI's holistic supply chain management approach, and suggests the program has helped result in a decline of around 47 percent in the number of malaria-related deaths.
