Treatment of fever (% of children under 5 with fever): Q1 (lowest)

This indicator examines the proportion of children under the age of five experiencing fever in the two weeks prior to a health survey who received antimalarial medications, highlighting a critical aspect of pediatric healthcare in malaria-endemic regions. A low percentage suggests inadequate access to necessary medications or insufficient healthcare interventions, which may lead to increased morbidity and mortality among young children. By analyzing this metric, public health officials can identify gaps in treatment practices and resource allocation, ultimately informing targeted strategies to improve access to effective antimalarial treatments. The aggregated data can also help in assessing the overall effectiveness of public health initiatives aimed at reducing malaria-related illness among vulnerable populations. Source:
