Today, however, these drugs no longer work against the deadliest form of malaria that exists throughout the world. Malaria deaths in sub-Saharan Africa "currently just over one million per year "are rising because of increased resistance to the old, inexpensive drugs. Although effective new drugs called oeartemisinins are available, they are unaffordable for the majority of the affected population, even at a cost of one dollar per course. Saving Lives, Buying Time: Economics of Malaria Drugs in an Age of Resistance examines the history of malaria treatments, provides an overview of the current drug crisis, and offers recommendations on maximizing access to and effectiveness of antimalarial drugs. The book finds that most people in endemic countries will not have access to currently effective combination treatments, which should include an artemisinin, without financing from the global community. Without funding for effective treatment, malaria mortality could double over the next 10 to 20 years and transmission will intensify.AntimalarialsEconomic aspectsPharmaceutical policyDrug resistance in microorganismsMalariadrug therapyAntimalarialstherapeutic useDrug CostsDrug ResistanceAntimalarialsEconomic aspects.Pharmaceutical policy.Drug resistance in microorganisms.Malariadrug therapy.Antimalarialstherapeutic use.Drug Costs.Drug Resistance.616.9/362061Arrow Kenneth Joseph1921-44429Panosian Claire1803755Gelband Hellen1808924Institute of Medicine (U.S.).Committee on the Economics of Antimalarial Drugs.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910959758103321Saving lives, buying time4360531UNINA
