Challenges Related to Antimalarial Abuse in Coronavirus Disease-2019 Treatment in the Democratic Republic of Congo

Abstract

Malaria is endemic to many African countries and geographies and remains the leading cause of morbidity and mortality on the
continent. Ongoing efforts by health authorities to reverse the scale of malaria are often faced to the challenges of drug resistance
often generated by therapeutic abuses relating to self-medication, sub-therapeutic under dosages and poor storage and handling
of drugs throughout the pharmacy supply chain system.
