Malaria case management: operations manual

Overview

Strategies for malaria case management are an integral part of malaria control programmes. They should be based on sound epidemiology, taking into consideration the population at greatest risk and the seasonality of malaria.

This manual advises national malaria control programmes on the best methods to ensure access to early diagnosis and appropriate, effective case management based on sound practice and experience in the use of ACTs. It is intended for adaptation in all malaria-endemic countries.
