Exploring documentation and reporting practices in malaria tracking: a mixed-methods study among formal drug retail shops in Hohoe Municipal, Ghana
Malaria documentation and reporting were low, with few facilities relying on paper-based methods. Digital reporting was preferred but faces challenges like resource constraints and inadequate training. Addressing these barriers through infrastructure investments and comprehensive training with collaborations between the National Malaria Elimination Programme (NMEP) and the Ghana Pharmaceuticals Council (GPC) will improve data accuracy and reporting, even in low-connectivity areas.
