Intervention Type: Combination product
Study Type: Interventional
Study Phase: Not Applicable
SUMMARY

The proportion of malaria that is the Plasmodium vivax species is increasing in Indonesia. Reducing vivax malaria will require innovative solutions to cure both the blood and liver stages of the disease. This study will evaluate of the feasibility of implementing point-of-care glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency (G6PD) testing. This will be followed by high dose, short course primaquine treatment regimens for patients with vivax malaria, and combined with patient education, surveillance, and pharmacovigilance. We plan to implement the study at 6 health facilities across Indonesia using a staged before-and-after study, with a mixed method evaluation.
