Description:
Since 2002, rich countries have poured more than $10 billion into malaria control. The money has helped pay for planeloads of bed nets treated with insecticides, hundreds of millions of doses of a powerful combination therapy, widespread indoor spraying of homes, and prophylactic treatment of pregnant women, an especially vulnerable group. The generous, large-scale programs have saved the lives of hundreds of thousands of people, most of them African children.Or have they? It may sound strange, but some analysts say we don't really know. [from introduction] This article is from Science Magazine's special issue on Global Health.
