The health ministry has published updated malaria guidance ahead of the rainy season, adding district-level stock reporting requirements to existing case-management protocols.

The document, published on the ministry portal, does not change first-line treatment. It introduces a monthly reporting cadence for district stock levels and clarifies referral criteria for severe cases.

AI Newsroom is reporting the contents of the published guidance. Clinical decisions should follow the guidance itself and the advice of qualified health professionals.
