Editor’s summary
Study on malaria pharmaceutical practices in six Brazilian municipalities with high malaria incidence. The topic of pharmaceutical assistance for malaria in Latin America is of major public health importance and has not received the deserved attention in the literature and the results of this study may have important consequences for malaria-oriented health services in the Amazon region and may contribute to the adoption of more effective organizational strategies.
