What is drug resistance:
“ The ability of a parasite strain to multiply or survive in the
presence of concentrations of drug that normally destroy
parasite of the same species or prevent their multiplication”
(Bruce-Chwatt et al, 1986)
EIJKMAN INSTITUTE
Major achievements of WHO's
coordination and global database on
drug efficacy
77 endemic countries
changed drug policy based
on the results of their
therapeutic efficacy tests
Report on global monitoring
GFATM changed choice of
drug procurement
Detection of artesunate
resistance at Thai- Countries which need ACT policy
Cambodia border Countries which adopted ACT
EIJKMAN INSTITUTE
Consequences of antimalarial
drug resistance
Increased morbidity and mortality
including anaemia, low birth weight,
Increased of transmission
switch to effective drug combinations in situations of low to
moderate endemicity has always resulted in a dramatic
decrease in transmission
Economic impact
increases cost to health services (to both provider and
patient) because of returning treatment failures
Greater frequency and severity of epidemics
Modification of malaria distribution
Greater reliance on informal private sector
with the risk of using monotherapies, sub-standard and
counterfeit medicines which in turn will increase drug resistance
