Excerpt

Insecticide-treated nets (ITNs), which comprise conventional (cITNs) and long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs), are the most widely used intervention for malaria control in Africa today. At least 700 million such nets have been financed and delivered to countries since the onset of the Roll Back Malaria (RBM) partnership at the turn of the millennium, but coverage remains inadequate. Better understanding of how and why these volumes of net deliveries translate into the levels of access and use seen in households across Africa could improve the monitoring of coverage indicators, highlight opportunities for systematic efficiency gains, and allow more accurate assessment of resources needed to meet international targets. …

WHO estimates that half of all patients worldwide are non-adherent to their prescribed medication. The consequences of poor adherence can be catastrophic, on both the individual and population level.

Join our expert panel to discover why you need to understand the drivers of non-adherence in your patients, and how you can optimize medication adherence in your clinics to drastically improve patient outcomes.
