Strategies: Malaria

Early case detection and prompt treatment (EDPT)

Clinically suspected malaria cases are confirmed on microscopy or rapid diagnostic kits(RDK)

Drug Distribution Center (DDC) and Fever Treatment Depots(FTD) have been established in rural areas

In inaccessible areas, Health agencies and volunteers running FTD’s are provided with RDK’s
