Now, this plant is an Artemisia plant it's the basic component for artemisinin, which is the best known treatment for malaria.

12. Also calls upon the international community to support ways to expand access to artemisinin based combination therapy for populations at risk of exposure to resistant strains of falciparum malaria in Africa, including the commitment of new funds, innovative mechanisms for the financing and national procurement of artemisinin based combination therapy and the scaling up of artemisinin production to meet the increased need

Responses in emergency settings included the distribution of ITNs in Somalia, Sudan and Uganda.

He was actually living in the Kibera slums when his father called him and told him about Artemisia and the value add potential.

Now, Artesunate is a very effective drug at destroying the parasite in the early days of infection.

UNICEF played a lead role in procurement of ACTs for Burundi, Ethiopia and Sudan.

UNICEF and WHO supported the introduction of artemisinin based combination therapy (ACT) for malaria in several countries during 2004.

13. Urges all Member States experiencing resistance to conventional monotherapies to replace them with combination therapies, as recommended by the World Health Organization, and to develop the necessary financial, legislative and regulatory mechanisms in order to introduce artemisinin combination therapies at affordable prices and to prohibit the marketing of oral artemisinin monotherapies, in a timely manner

Samuel's kids are in private school, and he's starting to help other farmers in the area also go into Artemisia production dignity being more important than wealth.

UNICEF, WHO and other partners also supported the introduction of artemisinin based combination therapy for malaria in a number of countries during 2004.

Now, what you do is, you get inside the microbe, you change its metabolic pathways, and you end up with a living chemical factory.

UNICEF Supply Division procured 6.7 million worth of ACTs compared to 1 million in 2003 some 11.6 million treatments.

It could alter the vector, but like Artemisia, it had been produced only in East Asia. And as part of its social responsibility, Sumitomo said, Why don't we experiment with whether we can produce it in Africa, for Africans?

All African least developed countries have adopted a national antimalarial treatment policy, but few have adopted the World Health Organization recommended artemisinin based combination therapies, and even fewer are implementing them due to their health budget constraints.23

So, a team of Berkeley researchers with 15 million dollars from the Gates Foundation is engineering, designing a radical new way to make the key ingredient, called artemisinin, and they're going to make that drug 10 times cheaper.

They buy it, they dry it and they bring it to this factory, which was purchased in part by, again, patient capital from Novartis, who has a real interest in getting the powder so that they can make Coartem.

It includes expanded access to long lasting insecticide treated nets and indoor residual spraying with approved insecticides the prompt use of new artemisinin based combination therapies or other effective therapies addressing malaria in pregnancy and working in partnership with host country Governments to build on existing national programmes.

In African medicine, Chinese herbs and pharmaceuticals are quietly gaining share. For example, the Chinese made anti malarial drug artesunate has become part of the standard treatment within just a few years.

Other challenges in preventing and controlling malaria include anomalous climatic changes that lead to epidemic conditions, the increase of water development schemes, increasing population movements, the emergence and spread of drug resistant strains, the unaffordability and shortage of the new artemesinin based combination therapies, and inadequate supplies of long lasting insecticide treated nets.

Holly golly, golly holly.

Golly holly, holly golly.

22. Urges the international community to become fully knowledgeable about World Health Organization technical policies and strategies, including for indoor residual spraying, insecticide treated nets and case management, intermittent preventive treatment for pregnant women and monitoring of in vivo resistance studies to artemisinin based combination therapy treatment, so that projects support those policies and strategies

Nehru Yuva Kendras, national youth clubs, have spearheaded the youth movement in the country.

21. There is a need to empower, mobilize and inform young people about fundamental rights at work.

You see insects, you see frogs, snakes, eagles, butterflies, frogs, snakes, eagles.

The insects are eaten by the frogs the frogs are eaten by the snakes the snakes are eaten by the eagles.

Those are called the asphaltenes they're an ingredient in asphalt.

19. Governments should facilitate the development of ICT capacity for youth, including indigenous youth, youth with disabilities and youth in remote and rural communities.

Far from being a disease, youth is a cure.

There are about 35 million youth in my country young women represent 48 per cent of that number.

We ask for the recognition and the involvement of youth.
