Guidelines for the treatment of malaria - Third edition

Overview

These guidelines consist of recommendations on the diagnosis and treatment of uncomplicated and severe malaria, including among at-risk populations (young children, pregnant women, tuberculosis or HIV/AIDS patients, non-immune travellers), in epidemic situations and in humanitarian emergencies. They also include recommendations on the use of drugs to prevent malaria in high-risk groups.  

The guidelines support national policy-makers and health care providers to design and implement effective national treatment policies and protocols; promote the use of safe, effective malaria treatment; and protect currently effective malaria treatment against the development or resistance.
