This study determines whether 72 health care providers in a previously conflict-affected district in Sri Lanka adhere to the recommendations of the Anti Malaria Campaign with regard to diagnosis, prescribing antimalarials and reporting of a positive case. All patients suspected of clinically having malaria are being referred for laboratory confirmation, indicating that presumptive treatment is not practiced. The knowledge amongst health care providers regarding accurate management and reporting of a malaria positive case needs to be improved.
本研究旨在确定斯里兰卡一个先前受冲突影响的地区的 72 名医疗保健提供者是否遵循抗疟疾运动的建议进行诊断、开处方抗疟药物和报告阳性病例。所有疑似患有疟疾的临床患者都被转介进行实验室确认，这表明没有进行推测性治疗。医疗保健提供者在准确管理和报告疟疾阳性病例方面的知识需要提高。
