U.S. Government Relaunches Malaria Hotline in Nigeria
Abuja, Nigeria—The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) Office of Inspector General (OIG) relaunched its “Make a Difference” (MAD) Malaria hotline to make it easier for Nigerians to report stolen and falsified antimalarial drugs. The hotline now has a new local telephone number, operates 24 hours a day, and uses English- speaking operators. The hotline continues to offer rewards between $100 and $10,000 for previously unknown, usable information about theft, counterfeiting, resale, or other abuses of U.S. Government-funded antimalarial commodities.
