Malaria Consortium supported the implementation of new guidelines for the management of severe malaria cases in Nigeria through health systems strengthening activities.
Monitoring and improving the quality of severe malaria case management is one of the pillars of Malaria Consortium’s Support to the National Malaria Programme in Nigeria 2 (SuNMaP2) programme (2019–2024) in six Nigerian states: Kano, Kaduna, Jigawa, Katsina, Yobe and Lagos. In this five-year period, annual quality improvement cycles at 62 government hospitals were planned. The revised monitoring model extends annual hospital assessments to include post-assessment feedback, the creation of hospital quality improvement teams and supportive follow-up visits.
