What to watch. Will WHO grant boost Strides Shasun?

Strides Shasun on Friday announced the receipt of prequalification from the World Health Organisation for its 100-mg rectal artesunate suppositories for pre-referral management of severe malaria. Achieved with support from MMV and funding from Unitaid, this prequalification enables countries to procure life-saving RAS with donor funding, thus ensuring increased access to this potentially life-saving intervention, Strides Shasun said.
