Smarter Purchasing Of Bednets Could Save $630M Over 5 Years, Report Suggests
"A new report from the Results for Development Institute," released to coincide with World Malaria Day on Wednesday, "suggests there are ways to save and reinvest badly needed funds, by getting better value for money out of the bednets distributed in endemic areas," Guardian Health Editor Sarah Boseley reports in her "Global Health Blog." "Over the next five years, say author Kanika Bahl and colleagues, smarter purchasing strategies could save ... $630 million," the blog writes, adding, "It could be used to buy 150 million more bednets, protecting 300 million people from the mosquitoes that spread the disease."
