Febrile illness management in children under five years of age: a qualitative pilot study on primary health care workers’ practices in Zanzibar

BACKGROUND: In Zanzibar, malaria prevalence dropped substantially in the last decade and presently most febrile patients seen in primary health care facilities (PHCF) test negative for malaria. The availability of rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) allows rural health workers to reliably rule out malaria...
