Alu was chosen because the Affordable Medicines for Malaria (AMFm) pilot program, hosted by the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, supports private and public sector importers to order subsidized supplies of Alu. Tanzania is one of seven African countries in which AMFm is being piloted so that the price of an adult dose of Alu is TZS 1000 and a child’s dose is TZS 500.
Mpango huu uliofadhiliwa na Mfuko wa Ulimwengu wa Kupambana na UKIMWI, Kifua Kikuu na Malaria ulianzishwa ukiwa pia na nia ya kuwezesha uagizaji bidhaa katika sekta binafsi na za umma kufanikiwa kununua dawa ya Alu yenye ruzuku. Tanzania ni miongoni mwa nchi saba za Afrika zilizoshirikishwa katika majaribio ya AMFm na kutoa matokeo ya kuwa bei ya dozi ya mtu mzima iwe TZS 1,000 na ile ya mtoto iwe TZS 500.
