Lancet paper beschuldigt Malaria Fond

This would be medical malpractice as in regions that the funds were aimed to a large scale resistance against such chemotherapy is present. Dr Attaran, the first author: "The WHO and the Global Fund have approved treatments for malaria to be sent to Africa that simply don't work." WHO said in response it always advocated newer, more effective treatment.

Background: WHO's goal is to cut half Malaria deaths (currently around 1 Mio./year) by 2010. 25-33% of GFATM's 2.1 Bn US$ is dedicated to Roll Back Malaria.
