FHI's Village Malaria Worker Program in Cambodia Since 2006, FHI has supported a malaria program in the province of Pailin in western Cambodia, an epicenter for the development and spread of drug–resistant strains of the malaria parasite. Funded by Oxford University, the program provides free diagnosis and immediate treatment with artemisinin combination therapy. FHI trains village health support groups to provide a range of malaria prevention and treatment services at no cost, thus eliminating the incentive to make fake drugs and the need for those affected to seek treatment outside their villages.
