China Economic Net, Switzerland January 17 (Reporter Zhao Shengkai) World Health Organization (WHO) said at its headquarters in Geneva, according to WHO recently learned that, in Cambodia and Thailand have been a blue border artemisinin drug resistance, despite the current global use of artemisinin-based combination therapies for the treatment of malaria (ACT) could meet the 90% effective, but around the world have to artemisinin drug resistance emerging phenomenon of rapid containment action. Because, if artemisinin-based combination therapies lose efficacy, specific drug development from the current situation, then the number of countries to tackle malaria will be no more effective way.
view of the emergence of artemisinin resistance in the seriousness of the problem itself, the World Health Organization Director General Margaret Chan at the WHO headquarters stressed that: the most effective drug to treat malaria is by its efficacy of the threat, so countries around the world to which we must take measures to try to contain artemisinin drug resistance have become very urgent. Chan pointed out that extensive drug resistance to artemisinin in very serious consequences, the global medical institutions and the community must truly grasp this critical moment, artemisinin drug resistance must be nipped in the bud and prevent its global geographical the further spread of the range.
the World Health Organization and containment of artemisinin drug resistance on the treatment of malaria partners in the 12 January in Geneva and co-sponsored a report entitled hormone resistance in the global scheme
The new action plan outlined to contain and prevent the need to artemisinin drug resistance and specific mobile content. Artemisinin is a natural plant artemisinin-based combination therapy (ACT) component of the key raw material medicine, is the treatment of fatal diseases, artemisinin drug resistance cases. Although the clinical use worldwide artemisinin-based combination therapies are still more than 90% efficacy, but to prevent and curb the spread of artemisinin drug resistance have been forced to continue in the prospect of a solution.
this end, WHO and its partners jointly issued the First, to curb the spread of parasite resistance. Pointed out that the Global Plan of Action to curb the spread of parasite resistance to artemisinin drug resistance is to contain the key. Therefore, we must first concentrate financial resources will take a series against drug-resistant malaria parasites for the further spread of the major initiatives.
Second, to strengthen the artemisinin drug resistance surveillance and monitoring. Pointed out that the global programs, WHO had estimated that in 2010 the author, the world should be undertaken to artemisinin-based combination therapy efficacy of a routine periodic inspection and supervision in 75 countries, only 31 countries which really started the work. Therefore, this has not yet been detected in the remaining countries will have to artemisinin drug resistance may arise to conduct immediate testing and clinical evaluation; Medical affairs departments to strengthen national measures to implement this process of supervision and inspection.
Three, the standard adopted artemisinin-based combination therapies in clinical practice in the implementation. Given the clinical cases at random to artemisinin-based combination therapies to treat non-infected with malaria, and there is unexplained fever cases will increase the probability of artemisinin resistance in the actual situation, WHO recommends specific health agencies must Suspected cases of malaria to artemisinin-based combination therapy prior to earnestly strengthen the diagnosis and detection of such cases. Otherwise, it can greatly reduce the risk of malaria, but not the number of patients using this therapy, but also will reduce the risk of drug resistance and risk.
Fourth, to strengthen the research of artemisinin resistance. Global Plan of Action to highlight the current need to focus on funding for special to artemisinin drug resistance research to the development of resistance of malaria parasites have developed a more rapid and effective detection technology, and research and development that can eventually replace the artemisinin based combination therapies, a new antimalarial drugs.
Fifth, to mobilize resources and stimulate action. WHO and the Roll Back Malaria Partnership Executive Director Iva? Test Mosaic (Awa Collseck) Dr. said here that the relevant parties in the unified action limited funds at the same time called on the international community to make generous contributions to ensure the consolidation has been achieved . Mosaic test that the success of the Global Plan will depend on the world, many of the regional stakeholders to take concerted and adequate funding of joint response action, the relevant government should donor agencies, and community action groups and the recognition of the contribution made and incentives.
WHO Global Malaria Programme Director, Robert? Newman (Robert Newman), PhD, in the past 10 years, after a global effort, there are cases of malaria in 43 countries reduction compared with the previous total of more than 50%. The recent malaria in 35 African countries to prevent the situation modeling and analysis made by 2000 to-2010 period is estimated to save the lives of more than 73 million people, nearly 3 / 4 is 5 years since 2006 between the results achieved. Because the last 5 years, impregnated bed nets and artemisinin-based combination therapies are more widely used. If the loss as an effective treatment of artemisinin-based combination therapies, it may lead to malaria-related deaths to rise significantly. Newman stressed that if it is to consolidate these achievements with the world health-related Millennium Development Goals, countries around the world must work together to overcome the artemisinin threat posed by drug resistance.
It is reported that China is such a raw artemisinin one of the major plant growth, and in the past few decades has been a worldwide process of treatment and prevention of malaria played a very important positive role.
