Swiss TPH Despite lots of progress made in the past decade, more than 270,000 children die from Malaria each year. Most of these deaths could be avoided through timely diagnosis and treatment. Despite better availability of tests and medication, a new study shows that large gaps remain in the quality of malaria care for children. The study by Swiss TPH and partners was published yesterday in the peer-reviewed journal PLOS Medicine. (Photo: Danielle Powell/Swiss TPH)
