Accessibility to antimalarials in Spanish hospitals: analysis of a national survey
The study highlights substantial variability and critical delays in antimalarial drug availability across Spanish hospitals. Enhancing access requires national stockpiling strategies, broader implementation of standardized treatment protocols, and improved procurement systems. These measures are vital to ensure timely treatment and reduce morbidity associated with imported malaria.
