Malaria drug resistance poses a significant and evolving challenge in global health, particularly as resistance to first-line treatments such as artemisinin continues to spread. Contributing factors include inconsistent treatment administration, the improper use of antimalarial drugs, and the rise of resistant strains of Plasmodium falciparum. These challenges are further compounded in regions with limited healthcare infrastructure, especially in sub-Saharan Africa and Southeast Asia, where malaria remains a leading cause of illness and death.

The AMR Knowledge Hub of The Global Health Network is dedicated to addressing the complexities of malaria drug resistance. By curating a comprehensive database of resources, the AMR Knowledge Hub aims to empower researchers, healthcare workers, and policymakers with the tools they need to understand, monitor, and combat resistance to antimalarial therapies.

On this page, you will find a wide array of resources, including molecular surveillance data, clinical guidelines, research publications, case studies, and educational videos. Additionally, external links are provided to further support ongoing research and treatment efforts.

This page is updated regularly with the latest discoveries, innovations, and strategies in the field of malaria drug resistance. For those with valuable resources, publications, or tools to contribute, you can reach out to the AMR Knowledge Hub by email. Let's strengthen efforts to control and ultimately eliminate malaria drug resistance together.
