If malaria were to become so rare that net distribution was no longer very cost-effective compared to other health causes, do you think that AMF would pivot to focus on another issue/intervention?
Yes, based on a) if AMF no longer adds value, we’ll stop (I think of that as Plan B for the charity, and I’d love for AMF to close if its work is no longer needed. Sadly, it looks as though malaria will be here for the next 10 years at least and within that time frame, currently, the distribution of nets is the most effective thing we can do to prevent malaria); and b) those of us involved in AMF care very much about what we do and I suspect others might also like to focus on another area where we can make a difference.
