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.
