Healthcare utilisation for febrile diseases in northern Tanzania: a randomised population-based cluster survey
In summary, our results suggest that lower-level health facilities, such as dispensaries, play an important role in the initial management of most febrile syndromes. Further research is needed to define the quality of fever case management within such facilities. Finally, our findings provide further evidence that socioeconomic status modifies health-seeking patterns.
