Assessing Nigerian caregivers’ health-seeking behaviour when managing febrile illness and malaria in infants

Nigeria accounts for about 27 percent of the world’s malaria cases, with children being disproportionately affected. Malaria Consortium conducted a scoping study to assess the health-seeking behaviour of caregivers when their children present with fever, which can often indicate malaria. The findings aim to inform the design of interventions that prevent and control childhood illnesses, including malaria.
