In 1971, after reviewing 2,000 candidate recipes, ancient texts, and folk remedies, the Chinese pharmaceutical chemist Tu Youyou discovered the Malaria curing power of a plant named ''[[Artemisia annua]]''. It took until 2004 for her invention to enter the market as an approved medicine. Tu received the Nobel Prize in 2015 for her discovery. Today, the so-called Artemisinin Combined Therapies (ACTs) are the only malaria curing medicines that are approved by the World Health Organisation (WHO).
