Don’t Use Chloroquine, Artesunate For Malaria Treatment– WHO Warns Nigerians!

NOT ACTUAL IMAGE

I just came across this report..I think its worth a look at..

The World Health Organisation had placed a global ban on the use of chloroquine and Artesunate in 2005. Nigerians have been advised against the use of Chloroquine and Artesunate for the treatment of malaria.

Nnenna Ezeigwe, National Coordinator, National Malaria Control Programme, gave the advice in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria on Friday in Abuja.
She, however, recommended that people should take only Artemisinin Combination Therapy, ACTs, when they test positive for malaria.

More when you continue..
