Jessica L Cohen, Elif Yavuz, Alexandra Morris, Jean Arkedis, Oliver Sabot Malaria Journal 2012, 11:83 (23 March 2012) The paper provides useful information on a very relevant topic, i.e. the adherence to the correct treatment schedule that can be achieved in the private sector - an indication of the quality of anti-malarial treatment in that sector, a sector currently in great expansion.

Hailemariam Lemma, Curt Löfgren, Miguel San Sebastian Malaria Journal 2011, 10:349 (5 December 2011) An interesting study of how artemether-lumefantrine is used in practice in Ethiopia. It highlights that adherence to treatment is a major concern, something that may not be fully appreciated by all practitioners.

The topic of pharmaceutical assistance for malaria in Latin America is of major public health importance and has not received the deserved attention in the literature and the results of this study may have important consequences for malaria-oriented health services in the Amazon region and may contribute to the adoption of more effective organizational strategies.
