RAMS Malaria Case Management and Impact Strategy
Specific lessons learned and experiences
• PHUS equipped with antimalarial commodities including severe malaria medicines to
provide quality service.
• Ambulance services available for referrals.
Cost effective delivery- the RAMS is not bulky and so use the opportunity for the
PHU staff to take them along after the training or PHU/DHMT in charges meeting.
Community awareness and sensitization to support referrals.
Quality training of staff increases health workers confidence and compliance to
malaria case management treatment guidelines to allow for actualization of the
impact of RAMS on U6 children.
Setting up bye laws by community authorities for supporting referrals
Village Savings and Loans (VSL):- use the fund to support families in case of referrals
Supportive supervision: Regular Supportive supervision is key to ensure adherence
to guidelines to prevent monotherapy and irrational utilization of RAMS.View entire presentation
