Protect The Cure – Racing to Stop Malaria Drug Resistance in Africa

Protect The Cure is a global advocacy initiative that offers an inside look at the fight against partial resistance to artemisinin—the key ingredient in Africa’s most effective malaria treatments. The campaign unites the voices of scientists, health workers, families, and policymakers to explore what resistance means, why it matters, and the urgent actions needed to stop it.

A series of documentary films has been released as part of the initiative:
