You are watching Malaria Season 1 Episode 2

Malaria kills between one and two million people a year. The two most widely used and affordable drugs now fail in two thirds of all cases because malaria has grown resistant to them. This programme travels to Tanzania to see just how badly new drugs are needed. In Delhi we see how Indian drug companies are getting round the patent laws to produce generic drugs at affordable prices.
