About Artesunate
Artesunate is a powerful antimalarial drug derived from artemisinin, which comes from the sweet wormwood plant (Artemisia annua). It is the drug of choice for treating severe and complicated malaria, a life-threatening condition that kills thousands of Nigerians every year, particularly children under five. Injectable artesunate (given through a vein or into the muscle) has replaced quinine as the first-line treatment for severe malaria because it works faster, is easier to administer, and significantly reduces the risk of death compared to quinine. The World Health Organization and the Nigerian Federal Ministry of Health both recommend injectable artesunate as the gold standard for severe malaria.
