and malaria treatment in Ethiopia.
The survey on Availability, Price, and Affordability of Artemisinin-Based Combination Therapies

Improved Access to Pharmaceuticals and Services (SIAPS), through
Antimalarial Drugs Management (PMI/AMDM) program with the endorsement from
Oromia Regional Health Bureau.
This survey was conducted using the methodology developed by the World
Health Organization (WHO) and Health Action International (HAI) for
