Hence, the vast majority of malaria treatments are unnecessary!

Translation of research
findings into policy
Close collaboration with
National Malaria Control Program
Tanzanian
Guidelines
for RDT use
Award of Round 7
Global Fund grant
to implement RDT
at national scale

Improvements
1. ALu consumption considerably reduced - by 74%
2. Febrile patients treated with antimalarials dropped from 81 to 24%
3. Only 7% of negative patients received an antimalarial
To be improved:
– Poor accountability for ALu and RDTs in some health
facilites
– 58% of patients WITHOUT fever are tested with RDT
– Febrile patients treated with antibiotics increased from
49 to 73%
