The Opportunity

Malaria is a global problem, with over 40% percent of the world's population living in areas where malaria is endemic, including Southeast Asia, South Asia, Africa, Central America and South America.

• Every day malaria causes 3,000 deaths and one million clinical episodes
• 41% of the world’s population lives in areas of high malaria transmission
• More than half a billion people are infected with malaria each year
• Each year over one million people die from malaria – many of them young children in sub-Saharan Africa
• Malaria is the fourth largest cause of death in children in developing countries
• Malaria causes over 10% of all children's deaths in developing countries
• Malaria accounted for 22% of all hospital admissions, 26% of all outpatient visits, and 28% of all hospital deaths
• Not all people go to hospitals when sick with malaria and many die at home
• The true numbers of death and disease caused by malaria are likely much higher

Artepharm Global’s Artequick provides an effective treatment of malaria. The results of trials have been successfully deployed in Cambodia and the Comoros which have led to the international community's attention. FEMSE (Fast Elimination of Malaria at Source Eradication) technology has already achieved breakthrough results in hyperendemic malaria areas in Southeast Asia and Africa.
