So...a couple issues with this:
- You'd have to commit to doing that forever. Malaria is ridiculously hard to eradicate without going after the vectors, and you'd have to be providing a continual course of it. You're not talking about "An African run factory to make this cheap" - you're talking about a robust continent wide distribution system. That's not an easy thing to do.
I've run into these kinds of problems all the time thinking about interventions in Africa - a lot of them posit an availability of infrastructure that isn't there.
- The combination of drugs in Malaron slows the development of resistance, but doesn't stop it. What's your plan for drug resistant malaria?
We're already preventing millions of people from dying now. This isn't an all or nothing campaign.
