Abstract
Evidence showing the large impact of malaria on Tanzanians’ health has provided
the impetus for significant policy changes on how to treat and prevent the
disease across the country. The fight against malaria is now proceeding on many
fronts, from preventative measures such as the promotion of insecticide-treated
bednets to the introduction of more effective treatments, such as new drug
therapies.
