Although these global leaders should be applauded for raising this challenge to the highest levels, they missed the opportunity to highlight a major driver of resistance to malaria treatments: the limited access to high-quality health services for malaria. Progress has been made in scaling up integrated community case management and clinical and laboratory quality improvement programs, but few malaria-affected countries have achieved national scale. If affected countries and their partners do not want to confront resistance to these newer alternative ACTs in the near future, they must take more decisive action now to expand access and improve the quality of malaria services.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4269\/ajtmh.24-0781","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,2,25]],"date-time":"2025-02-25T21:42:16Z","timestamp":1740519736000},"page":"953-955","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Mitigating Resistance to Malaria Treatments in Sub-Saharan Africa Requires More than New Drugs"],"prefix":"10.4269","volume":"112","author":[{"given":"Lawrence M.","family":"Barat","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Independent Consultant, Provincetown, Massachusetts"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"2795","reference":[{"year":"2024","key":"b1","article-title":"Donor Statement on Urgent Action Required to Address Antimalarial Drug Resistance"},{"year":"2024","key":"b2","article-title":"Racing against Antimalarial Resistance: Driving Global Action to Support National Response Efforts"},{"year":"2024","key":"b3","article-title":"World Health Statistics 2024: Monitoring Health for the Sustainable Development Goals"},{"key":"b4","series-title":"J Glob Health","first-page":"04013","article-title":"Does integrated community case management (iCCM) target health inequities and treatment delays?
