Host: Michael Benson, MD

Guest: Christopher Plowe, MD, MPH

In this segment, Dr. Plowe overviews the diagnostic and therapeutic modalities for malaria, as well as the current states of resistance, comparatively on national vs. global levels. The stark discrepancies in available resources for treatment and prevention become quickly apparent as Dr. Plowe describes personal experiences facing total lack of access to health care in large parts of sub-Saharan Africa.
