Abstract
Background:
Although there are various malaria intervention measures,
the
long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLIN) are considered as the most cost-
effective
intervention measure for malaria endemic countries. In line with the Global
Technical Strategies, and as recommen
ded by the World Health Organization
(WHO), the other available malaria preventive measures
to achieve malaria
control and elimination in especially the malaria endemic countries include
the intermittent prophylactic treatment in pregnancy (IPTp), intermit
tent
prophylactic treatment in infants (IPTi), indoor residual spray (IRS),
seasonal
malaria chemoprophylaxis (SMC),
and recently the use of malaria vaccine.
This study examines the role of quality assurance (QA) tool as deployed by
WHO in the 2017 LLIN replacement campaigns in the states that impl
e-
mented the campaign in Nigeria—Adamawa, Edo, Imo, Kwara,
and Ondo.
For the purpose of this study, the QA tool examined
four components during
the campaign—logistics, strategies, technical, and demand creation.
Methods:
This is a cross-
sectional study using the QA checklist developed and applied
by the WHO professional officers intra campaign between April and Dece
m-
ber 2017. In each of the states, a total of six LGAs were randomly selected u
s-
ing the EPI risk status (AFP performance indicators and the routine immun
i-
zation coverage). The findings from the QA checklist tool were analyzed u
s-
ing the SPSS version 24 and the results discussed accordingly.
Results: The
results looked at general and specific issues across th
e five states. While the
general issues are more in Kwara state in comparison to the other four
states—logistics (15%), strategies (12%), technical (13%), and demand cre
a-
tion (7%), the specific issues are almost same across the five states; these sp
e-
cific issues are poor crowd control (12%), early closure of distribution sites
