Behavior change communication to promote appropriate treatmentseeking
and adherence; promotion of appropriate case management in
the private sector;
Innovations such as social marketing/franchising for private sector
involvement.
The household surveys planned under the project will provide data on
access.
Detailed sub-components are described below:
1.a. a) Early diagnosis and complete treatment
To reduce morbidity and mortality due to malaria the best means is to
detect early and provide complete treatment.
Presumptive treatment will be discontinued but all fever cases in the
high endemic areas will be attended by health worker and will be
immediately tested for P falciparum by RDT Kit. A Blood slide shall also
be made for microscopy.
All positive Pf patients will receive ACT (other than pregnant women). All
P vivax will be given Chloroquine and Primaquine (for 14 days)
according to national treatment policy.
Provision of RDT and ACT will be prioritized in areas which do not have
access to microscopy in 24 hours and in tribal areas.
Private sector partners would be identified for Malaria diagnosis and
treatment and efforts will be made to provide the diagnosis and
treatment according to national standards.
The activity schedule for the first year is presented in Table-1.
