The workshop which was organised by the state Ministry of Health has  “Strengthening Clinical Capacity for Early Detection, Effective Management, and Reduction of Mortality from Severe Malaria,” as its theme.

LEADERSHIP reports that the training was aimed at boosting the clinical skills of frontline healthcare professionals in the fight against severe malaria.

This initiative forms part of the broader state malaria control efforts, including preparations for the 2025 Seasonal Malaria Chemoprevention (SMC) campaign.

The SMC programme will see the house-to-house distribution of preventive antimalarial medication to children aged 3–59 months across 11 eligible local government areas in Kwara State.

Declaring the training open, the director of Public Health, Dr Oluwatosin Fakayode, emphasised the urgency of early diagnosis and prompt treatment of severe malaria, particularly in vulnerable populations such as children under five and pregnant women.

While acknowledging the significant strides made in malaria prevention and control, he noted that severe malaria remains a major public health threat in Nigeria and Kwara State.

 

Fakayode noted the state government’s commitment to malaria elimination and continuous investment in strengthening clinical capacity across all levels of care.

 

In her remarks, the programme manager of the Malaria Unit, Alhaja Latifat Abdullahi, expressed deep appreciation to the participants for their dedication to the cause of eliminating malaria despite their demanding schedules.

 

She emphasised the importance of continuous professional development in achieving better healthcare outcomes and urged the medical doctors to put their newly acquired skills into practice.
