dc.description.abstractChanges in Antimalarial Drug Policies are intended to improve case management and reduce both social and financial burden associated with malaria. To achieve this providers have to translate the policy into practice since they have the privilege of being the primary contact to those affected by malaria. The main aim of this study is to examine the extent of implementation of the change in antimalarial drug policy in Uganda, from chloroquine monotherapy to combination therapy of CQ+SP for management of uncomplicated malaria. Prescribing practice of health personnel in selected health facilities in Rakai and Kampala Districts is used as a measure of level of adherence to the change in policy.en_ZA
