ETHIOPIA: Gov't, MSF clash over malaria treatment

Ethiopia’s health ministry has clashed with the aid agency Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF) over malaria treatment in the midst of a major epidemic threatening 15 million people. MSF is urging the government to implement a cocktail of drugs which have been given preliminary approval by the World Health Organisation (WHO). But the ministry says that calls by the NGO to change anti-malarial drugs during an epidemic were potentially dangerous.
