Malaria Control and Prevention Program

CBCHS has made measurable strides in reducing malaria cases through a comprehensive and community-centered approach. Beyond treating patients, the institution has focused on strengthening the entire health system. A key pillar of this progress is health workforce development. Through its Malaria Control and Prevention Program, CBCHS has trained diverse healthcare providers in malaria diagnosis, case management, documentation, and reporting. Community Health Workers (CHWs) have been equipped to conduct active case finding, refer severe cases, and educate families—bringing life-saving knowledge directly into homes. Pregnant women and nursing mothers are routinely coached on the correct use of insecticide-treated mosquito nets, a critical preventive measure. CBCHS has also contributed to innovation in malaria response tools. Drawing from best practices across Sub-Saharan Africa, the institution has developed practical resources such as a Malaria Communication Strategy Handbook and a Malaria Management Handbook. These tools are now widely used by CHWs to improve case detection, treatment, and community sensitization.
