Abstract

Malaria is a life-threatening but preventable and treatable disease that continues to pose a major public health challenge. Although the World Health Organization recommends comprehensive malaria prevention and management strategies, despite to this, there are persistence gaps in service delivery of malaria case management in many settings. This included shortages of essential resources, poor adherence to treatment guidelines, and inconsistent patient satisfaction with services.
