The strategy aims to motivate community health workers, improve access to primary healthcare, and promote preventive, curative and rehabilitative services. It will be implemented by the village health teams and community health workers.
The program that was launched in 2022 is being implemented by the Malaria Consortium with the assistance of the Village Health Teams who are moving around door to door to deliver medicines to children under five years of age.
Dr Anthony Nuwa, the country technical coordinator for Malaria consortium told URN that they have rolled out the exercise to distribute medicines to 35,000 children aged five below in Napak district.
According to the experts, some of current interventions that government is currently implementing are not effective in some parts of the country and have instead become a money-making venture for different parties involved in the fight against malaria.
