“If it’s not the complicated version you only get oral medications that are around 25 or 20 so in total it’s about 60,000 shillings in terms of dollars that’s around 20 or 19 dollars but if you go to the severe form where you need IVs on addiction they may give you other heavy fluids just because may be malaria may cause dehydration you may vomit so there the bill is usually way too higher it may be 3 times that amount so 20 dollars times 3 it may be around 60 dollars which is really a big figure when you look at our social economic status of most of the people in our country.”

STORYLINE:
Malaria season begins this month in a large part of Africa.
No disease is deadlier on the African continent, especially for children. But the U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration’s decision to terminate 90% of USAID’s foreign aid contracts has health officials in Uganda warning of catastrophe in some of the world’s poorest communities.
The U.S. is the top bilateral funder of anti-malaria efforts in Africa.
