MALARIA TREATMENT – ARTEMISIA

Since 1999 FSC has undertaken work for DFID and Technoserve (USAID) on the use of Artemisia in the treatment of Malaria and its potential for production and processing in East Africa. Artemisia is a Chinese herb which is now universally recognised as the only first line drug which still works against chloroquine resistant parasites. Whilst it has traditionally been grown in Asia it is now increasingly being grown by smallholders in Africa.
