Receipt of antimalarials among children aged 6–59 months in Nigeria from 2010 to 2021
From 2010 to 2021 in Nigeria, both malaria prevalence and anti-malarial treatments among children aged 6-59 months decreased, as RDT availability increased. Among children who had fever in the prior 2 weeks, anti-malarial receipt was similar between children with either positive or negative survey RDT results, indicative of persistent challenges in reducing inappropriate anti-malarials uptake.
