Role Of Malaria In Community Medicine Distributors

Community drug distributors play a key role in community-based malaria initiatives. They complement the effort of primary health care services to provide rapid and effective treatment for simple malaria and rapid referral of severe cases to the community. However, the high attrition rate of CMDs - often the result of a lack of motivation and incentives - can be a major obstacle to the sustainability and effectiveness of any intervention. While the HMM intervention project was shown to transform life in this study area, community support for CMDs was a serious challenge for the sustainability of the program. Providing CMDs with incentives to motivate them to continue their volunteer work for an extended period of time and a regular supply of LA in health care settings is essential for sustainability. Incentive mechanisms for CMDs must be developed. Operational research to determine the reasons for community non-engagement and to compare the effectiveness of the various incentive mechanisms suggested in this study and other related previous studies is recommended.
