Access to artemisinin-based combination therapies and other anti-malarial drugs in Kinshasa.

CONCLUSION: Artemisinin-based combination therapies were widely available in the private pharmacies of Kinshasa. However, the private sector does not guarantee the use of nationally recommended anti-malarial drugs nor does it give priority to quality-assured anti-malarial drugs. These practices contribute to the risk of emergence and spread of resistance to anti-malarial drugs and to increasing treatment costs. PMID: 29530387 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
