This article from Malaria Journal looks at care-seeking for fatal malaria among children under five in southern Tanzania. Findings showed that in the case of 78.7 per cent of malaria deaths, biomedical care had been used in the form of antimalarial drugs from shops, government or non-government facilities. In cases of suspected malaria at all ages, including those which involved convulsions, modern care was sought by the vast majority (90 per cent as a first resort).
