A new treatment for Malaria has been discovered by scientists in Melbourne. It could dramatically reduce the number of deaths from the disease as it targets the patient, not just the parasite.

Malaria is one of the world’s biggest killers, mainly in children under the age of five, as those who survive are left with long-lasting effects. This treatment offers new hope to those who contract the disease, especially to those living in developing countries.
