"Nothing But Nets: A Biography of Global Health Science and Its Objects" by Kirsten Moore-Sheeley delves into the historical, political, and socioeconomic factors surrounding insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) in Africa. The book highlights key trials that proved the medical efficacy of ITNs in reducing child mortality and their cost-effectiveness. Moore-Sheeley emphasizes the importance of local perspectives and socioeconomic determinants in malaria control efforts, challenging the dominant biomedical narrative. The book contributes significantly to African studies and various disciplines, underscoring the need to value local knowledge in global health interventions. [Extracted from the article] |
