Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Tropical Medicine
  • Medical Education

Background:

  • The resurgence of malaria in the 1970s necessitated enhanced malaria control strategies.
  • The Modified Plan of Operation (MPO) integrated malaria control into the Primary Health Care (PHC) system.
  • There was an identified need for specialized training for peripheral healthcare providers.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the effectiveness of orientation courses for PHC medical officers and workshops for clinicians on malaria management.
  • To assess the impact of these training programs on malaria control efforts.
  • To introduce and validate a new evaluation method for peripheral short-term courses.

Main Methods:

  • Orientation courses were designed for PHC medical officers.

  • Workshops focused on managing severe and complicated malaria for hospital-based clinicians.
  • A novel "Retrospective assessment at the work sites of the participants" method was employed for evaluation.

    • Main Results:

    • The training courses were highly successful, leading to the integration of PHC medical officers into the national malaria campaign.
    • Participants gained updated knowledge on malaria control concepts, drug dosages, treatment schedules, and specific therapies (quinine, primaquine).
    • Workshops fostered crucial interaction between clinicians and the national program, clarifying complex malaria pathology and treatment protocols.

    Conclusions:

    • Short-term training courses are effective in enhancing malaria control capabilities at the peripheral level.
    • The work-site assessment method provides valuable insights into the practical impact of training.
    • Addressing faculty delivery deficiencies is crucial for optimizing future training programs.
