What are the Strategies to Overcome These Challenges?
To address these challenges, several strategies have been implemented:
1. Surveillance: Monitoring drug resistance patterns through molecular markers and therapeutic efficacy studies helps in adapting treatment guidelines and ensuring the continued effectiveness of ACTs. 2. Education: Public health campaigns and education programs aim to improve patient adherence by emphasizing the importance of completing the full treatment course. 3. Subsidies and Funding: International organizations and governments provide subsidies and funding to make ACTs more accessible and affordable in malaria-endemic regions. 4. Research and Development: Ongoing research focuses on developing new antimalarial drugs and combination therapies to stay ahead of resistance patterns.
