Abstract

The greatest burden of malaria is borne by the children of rural sub-Saharan Africa. 1 Each year nearly 90% of all malaria-related deaths occur in these remote areas, far from lifesaving medical care. In the Bugoye sub-county of rural Western Uganda, most families subsist on small plots of staple crops carved into the hillsides. Lacking transportation, worried parents carry their sick children down the narrow mountain paths to the health centre in search of care (Figure 1).
