There are several means of successfully treating malaria if contracted, yet malaria is still one of the leading causes of preventable death in the developing world. The reason is that most of these people are too poor to afford even basic preventative measures like bednets (which keeps malarial misquitoes from biting children in their sleep).

Bednets are important step to reducing the impact of malaria, because it is much more expensive to treat malaria once it is contracted than it is to prevent it via bednets, removing standing water, etc.

There are some efforts to find cheaper alternative treatments as well, including one promising one that comes from Chinese herbal medicine.

I've also attached a CDC (center for disease control) article that describes some of the anti-malarial drugs currently being used.
