Case Management

Supporting quality malaria diagnosis and appropriate care.

OUR OBJECTIVE

Supporting quality malaria diagnosis and appropriate care.

National guidance and service quality

This branch supports the policy and technical framework for malaria diagnosis and treatment. Its work connects national guidance with implementation in public and private health services.

Health-worker capacity

Training and supportive supervision help service providers apply approved guidance, recognise when referral is needed and maintain the quality of patient care. Training materials should be used alongside current national policies.

Diagnostic and treatment services

Programme activities support access to appropriate diagnostic services and quality-assured malaria commodities. The branch works with procurement, monitoring and programme teams to address service-delivery gaps.

Malaria in pregnancy

Prevention and management of malaria in pregnancy form part of coordinated maternal health services. Health workers should consult the latest approved national guidance for clinical recommendations.
