'Millions at risk' of drug-resistant malaria
Doctors are warning that drug-resistant strains of malaria could put millions of lives in danger. Artemisinin-based combination therapies (ARTs) have been used as an effective treatment for the disease, but the drugs are now failing in a number of cases. A triple-resistant strain has emerged in northern Cambodia, where the standard antimalarial drug has been failing in 60% of cases.
