中国商务部表示，中国已援助非洲国家5000万批抗疟药青蒿素，这些药物已治愈3亿感染疟疾的非洲人。

 

"For a long time now, China has helped Africa in a variety of ways to fight malaria, a deadly mosquito-borne disease in Africa," said the MOC on its official Wechat account.

 

MOC research has found that China-produced artemisinin drugs, discovered by Chinese researcher and Nobel Prize winner Tu Youyou, have become particularly effective in the fight against malaria in Africa.

 

"Thanks to Chinese-backed anti-malaria drug projects, artemisinin is gradually being recognized in African countries," said the MOC in its statement "Chinese pharmaceutical⁴ makers⁵ are now able to compete with western pharmaceutical companies inf Africa, which have dominated African market for a long time," the statement has concluded.
