New Publications on Malaria (1)
-------------------------------
Appropriate Health Resources and Technologies Action Group(AHRTAG) produces a range of free publications for health workers in developing countries.
In response to the growing threat posed by malaria, particularly for children, AHRTAG would like to draw your attention to two recent publications:
1. Child Health Dialogue (CHD) issue 6 with Health Action (HA) supplement on malaria. This 16-page issue contains information on prevention, recognition and management of malaria in young children and pregnant women. The HA supplement considers broader aspects of malaria control.
CHD is a quarterly international newsletter, focusing on child health and prevention. Aimed at health and development workers at district level, this newsletter contains clear, practical advice on preventing and treating the main childhood illnesses. CHD is free to readers in developing countries. Elsewhere subscription rates are 12 pounds sterling for individuals (up to 10 copies), and 24 pounds sterling for organisations (up to 50 copies). In addition to the international English edition, 11 regional language editions are also produced. An adapted text is available on electronic mail in selected countries via Healthnet.
2. A directory of suppliers of insecticides and mosquito nets for sub-Saharan Africa, produced in collaboration with PATH (Canada). The directory, aimed at managers of malaria control programmes includes: practical information on the preparation and use of treated mosquito nets; suppliers of finished nets, bulk netting, insecticides and related products for malaria control; and a list of useful contacts and resource materials. Single copies of the directory are available free of charge; organisations requesting bulk copies will be asked to contribute to postage.
If you would like to order the directory or subscribe to published version of Child Health Dialogue, please contact:
