A research of great interest considering the enormity of the problem of resistance to antimalarials. I just wish to add that we need to find out how many prescribers are aware or have access to the national antimalarial treatment guideline and how many make use of it especially against the background that prescriptions for malaria are generated by varied healthcare providers since most antimalarials in Nigeria are available over-the-counter.
