Tailoring malaria control interventions to suit local context
With global malaria cases on the rise, the WHO has placed increased emphasis on National Malaria Programmes to tailor interventions to country and programmatic needs. This paper presents the Plus Project’s experience of applying a codesign approach to design country-specific models of perennial malaria chemoprevention (PMC), a chemoprevention intervention aimed at reducing morbidity and mortality due to malaria and anaemia in children. Codesign w…
Targeting malaria in high-risk populations in low endemic regions in northern Namibia
BACKGROUND: Agricultural worksites are rarely targeted by malaria control programmes, yet may play a role in maintaining local transmission due to workers' high mobility, low intervention coverage and occupational exposures. METHODS: A quasi-experimental controlled intervention study was carried out in farming and cattle herding populations in northern Namibia to evaluate the impact of a targeted malaria intervention package. Eight health facilit…
Feasibility and effectiveness of tailored interventions for two populations at high-risk of malaria in Senegal
Senegal has made significant progress in reducing the malaria burden over the last decade. However, malaria remains a major cause of morbidity in some regions and key challenges exist among high-risk populations who have high exposure to mosquitos, but low coverage and use of vector control measures and limited access to healthcare. Two identified high-risk populations are goldminers and talibés (Koranic school students). We conducted a controlle…
Integration of a vertical voluntary medical male circumcision program into routine health services in Zimbabwe
The global health community has recognized the importance of integrating and sustaining health programs within national health systems rather than managing stand-alone ‘vertical’ interventions. Corresponding with these objectives, international aid donors are embracing the principle of localization. Voluntary Medical Male Circumcision (VMMC) in Zimbabwe is a large vertical HIV prevention program that was primarily funded through development assis…
Forest-Going as a Risk Factor for Confirmed Malaria in Champasak Province, Lao PDR
Lao People's Democratic Republic (Lao PDR) has made significant progress in reducing malaria in recent years. In the Greater Mekong Subregion, forest-going is often a risk factor contributing to continuing malaria transmission. This study assessed forest-going and other potential risk factors for malaria cases in Champasak Province, Lao PDR. Routine passive surveillance data from August 2017 to December 2018 were extracted from health facilities …
Effective management of district-level malaria control and elimination
Although it is widely recognized that strong program management is essential to achieving better health outcomes, this priority is not recognized in malaria programmatic practices. Increased management precision offers the opportunity to improve the effectiveness of malaria interventions, overcoming operational barriers to intervention coverage and accelerating the path to elimination. Here we propose a combined approach involving quality improve…
Application of an innovative grid-based surveillance strategy to ensure elimination and prevent reintroduction of malaria in high-risk border communities in China
Grid management is a grassroots governance strategy widely implemented in China since 2004 to improve the government's efficiency to actively find and solve problems among populated regions. A grid-based strategy surveillancing high-risk groups, including mobile and migrant populations (MMPs), in the China-Myanmar border region has played an indispensable role in promoting and consolidating the malaria elimination efforts by tracking and timely i…
Effectiveness and safety of reactive focal mass drug administration (rfMDA) using dihydroartemisinin–piperaquine to reduce malaria transmission in the very low-endemic setting of Eswatini
INTRODUCTION: To reduce malaria transmission in very low-endemic settings, screening and treatment near index cases (reactive case detection (RACD)), is widely practised, but the rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) used miss low-density infections. Reactive focal mass drug administration (rfMDA) may be safe and more effective. METHODS: We conducted a pragmatic cluster randomised controlled trial in Eswatini, a very low-endemic setting. 77 clusters were…
Internalization of the trainer's behaviour in professional training
An important component of any course of professional training is the process by which a trainee comes to adopt a professional stance in relation to his patient, client or client system. This paper is concerned with the way a professional role model is adopted, maintained and developed, a process that should be clearly distinguished from the acquisition of specific skills appropriate to the profession, such as the use of conceptual schemata, selec…
