Course on Effective Malaria/Fever Case Management for HCPs

Malaria is one of the febrile illnesses in Nigeria. In clinical training, it is suggested that patients with fever should be suspected to have malaria and be treated as such. The index of suspicion for malaria was therefore very high. Thus, most patients that present with fever are most likely to be treated for malaria. However, the realities based on current data shows that the contribution of malaria to febrile illness is indeed low.
