Adherence to the test, treat and track malaria policy among selected health facilities in Ghana: the clients’ perspective
Testing and treating for malaria were high among health facilities in the three zones. However, tracking of patients was very low across the zones. Adherence from clients' perspective was low especially for males. The study recommended among others that the National Malaria Elimination Programme (NMEP) should ensure periodic trainings of health facility staff especially those within the Northern and Middle zones of Ghana and strengthen monitoring and supervision of health facilities to enhance adherence to the T3 policy.
