Use Malaria Risk by Region in a safer care workflow

Clinical utilities must stay conservative. They should help the user organise prevention, adherence, water safety, and escalation signals without replacing clinical judgement.

Use It To Decide

  • Whether prevention or follow-up steps are missing
  • Which dates, doses, symptoms, or exposure details should be documented
  • When the situation should move from self-checking to urgent care

Better Workflow

  • Use the tool as a checklist or tracker, not a treatment order
  • Confirm medication, test, vaccine, and outbreak guidance locally
  • Save the result for a clinician or community health worker

Do Not Ignore

  • Severe dehydration, confusion, breathing difficulty, bleeding, or high fever
  • Missed treatment doses without clinic guidance
  • Known outbreak exposure with symptoms
