Figure 3. Effect of health-systems failure on malaria deaths.

For Guinea (A), Liberia (B), Sierra Leone (C), and the combined total (D). Red bars show additional deaths in individuals who would otherwise have been treated with an artemisinin-based combination therapy (ACT) and recovered, pink bars show additional deaths in individuals who would not have received ACT or failed to respond to ACT but would have otherwise recovered after hospital care, and blue bars show additional deaths caused by the additional malaria cases attributable to increased malaria transmission. Green lines show probable and confirmed Ebola cases from patient databases, blue lines show Ebola cases from WHO situation reports.
