This poster was presented at the American Society of Tropical Medicine & Hygiene Conference 2017. It discusses a pilot study implemented to determine if family planning health workers — when adequately trained, supplied and supervised — could manage malaria cases in their community and thus increase access to malaria diagnosis and treatment, especially for pregnant women and children under five.
