WHO published today in the consolidated guidelines for malaria a package of new and updated recommendations across a number of technical areas – from malaria chemoprevention and mass drug administration to elimination. The guidelines encourage countries to tailor the recommendations to local disease settings for maximum impact.
Clear, evidence-informed WHO recommendations guide managers of national malaria programmes as they develop polices and strategic plans to combat the disease; they support decisions around “what to do”. WHO also develops implementation guidance, such as operational and field manuals, to advise countries on “how to” deliver the recommended tools and strategies.
How to access WHO malaria guidance In February 2021, WHO launched the consolidated guidelines for malaria, bringing together, for the first time, all of the Organization’s guidance on malaria in one web-based platform. The consolidated guidelines are currently available in English, French and Arabic, with other language versions planned in the coming year. WHO malaria recommendations can also be found in an easy-to-navigate mobile app |
