infants, killing more than 1.5 million per year.
Most of these children need not die!!!
Diarrhoea can almost always be easily treated!

The burden of
malaria
There are at least 300 million acute cases of malaria each year globally, resulting in more than a million deaths.
That means 3000 people die every day from malaria, mostly children.
Could we describe anopheles as the world's worst terrorist?
![Page 31: anamed Action for Natural Medicine - UNSER · PDF fileNatural Medicine to Traditional ... dose. 34/68 ... Euphorbia hirta treats diarrhoea. 44/68 Artemisia tea is also effective](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030413/5a9ee48c7f8b9a84178c0333/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
www.anamed.net 31/68
It’s getting worse
Malaria kills more African children under 5 than any other infectious agent.
The old conventional medicines like chloroquine do not work any more.

The cost of
malaria
Economists believe that, in
some African countries,
malaria reduces the rate of
economic growth by 1.3%

www.anamed.net 33/68
Treatment?
Less than 20% of patients with fever, or even dying from malaria, visit the formal health system. 80% of patients self-treat at home or visit a traditional healer.
Modern drugs are often
– unavailable, or
– unaffordable, or
– are even fakes.
Even when modern drugs are used, they are usually used at an incorrect dose.

Artemisia annua
is an answer!
Artemisia annua contains more than ten anti-malarial components, on of which is artemisinin, a substance that clears plasmodium from the blood faster and more effectively than any other known drug.
It is the hope of the world!
