Welcome To iDOC Africa
Work has shown that those with severe illness or needing inpatient care do not always receive good quality care in African hospitals.

We would like to help improve health care in African hospitals.

In Africa, DHA-P reduces overall treatment failure compared to artemether-lumefantrine, although both drugs have low failure rates.
