@FightingMalaria @Chemonics #ActionstoEndMalaria chat A8: A unified multi-sector approach can be effectively and efficiently ensured when governments demonstrate consistency of commitment, leadership, ownership of a coordinated response, that has advocated for, and secured the buy-in of all key actors @WHO

@FightingMalaria @Chemonics #ActionstoEndMalaria chat A7: #malaria surveillance in high transmission countries relies on routine data, which is passive. The humanitarian emergency in Nigeria, uses #EWARS, an active surveillance system that guided decision to implement #malaria MDA in IDP camps. @WHONigeria

"#Malaria #surveillance data enable health authorities to make prompt decisions and corrective actions...by drilling down analysis to examine specific localities or populations, the unreached would be better served." - @seyebabs @WHO #Nigeria

@FightingMalaria @Chemonics #WHO recommends #malaria community case management where health facilities are not available or accessible. Countries and partners have successfully adapted an integrated illness management approach. #iCCM model is being scaled-up by #NPHCDA #NMEP and #CHIPS partners in Nigeria.

@FightingMalaria @Chemonics #ActionstoEndMalaria chat A5: Though there's no 'silver bullet’, the best approaches are those that are tailor-made, and place community members at the centre of finding solutions, and driving the implementation and evaluation of #malaria interventions. @WHONigeria

@FightingMalaria @Chemonics #ActionstoEndMalaria chat A4: Main challenge is access: to adequate commodities, tools, information, training and supervision. Solutions require sustainable, locally appropriate, creative approaches that leverage existing community resources, technology, media, etc. @WHONigeria

[Seye Babatunde @SeyeBabs]

@FightingMalaria @Chemonics #ActionstoEndMalaria chat A3: #malariasurveillance data enable health authorities to make prompt decisions and corrective actions. In particular, by drilling down analysis to examine specific localities or populations, the unreached would be better served. @WHO @WHONigeria

[Seye Babatunde @SeyeBabs]

@FightingMalaria @Chemonics #ActionstoEndMalaria chat A2: An interventionist approach is required to first identify such restrictions and inequities, then mainstream those sensitivities into the implementation arrangements from top to bottom at #malaria service endpoints for deprived groups. @WHONigeria

@FightingMalaria @Chemonics #ActionstoEndMalaria chat A1: Quality care results from providing the right quantity and quality of investments of resources. This goes for #malaria services as well. Hard-to-reach populations require ‘extra dose’ of innovative approaches that are consultative and participatory.
