Introduction Malaria is one of the most severe public health problems worldwide. It is a leading cause of death and disease in many developing countries; an estimated 3.4 billion people are at risk of malaria, of which 1.2 billion are at high risk. In high-risk areas, more than one malaria case occurs per 1000 population. There were an estimated 207 million cases of malaria in 2012 and an estimated 627 000 deaths, 90% of all malaria deaths occur in sub-Saharan Africa, in 2012, malaria killed an estimated 482 000 children under five years of age. That is 1300 children every day or one child almost every minute. (1)

Malaria is still a big challenge for the Eastern Mediterranean Region, as more than 50% of the regional population lives in areas in which there is a risk of contracting malaria. Based on 2010 estimates, about 10.4 million people were affected by malaria and 15 000 people die of malaria in the Region every year. (2).

In Sudan, it is estimated that 75% of the population (24 millions) are at risk of malaria, while 25% are at risk of malaria epidemics Seasonal transmission and malaria epidemics related to meteorological factors, irrigation schemes and river flooding occur in the hypo and meso-endemic areas of Sudan. In addition, epidemics related to large influx of vulnerable populations can occur in areas of hyper endemic malaria, leading to overload of health services and high mortality. (3)

Indeed, being one of the MDGs, the country continues to prioritise efforts for malaria control as reflected in the key goals of the National Health Sector Strategic Plan (NHSSP). The country vision in that respect is to have halted by 2015, and begun to reverse, the incidence of malaria and other major diseases and the spread of HIV/AIDS (MDG6).(3)

Sudan has contributed to and endorsed the World Health Organization (WHO) global strategy for malaria control and Roll back malaria. It has been observed that ,unless diagnosis and treated promptly , patient with malaria deteriorate rabidly and the outcome is grave; hence plans to formulate a national malaria protocol for control of malaria were apriority in Sudan.(4)

The national protocol is aset of recommendation and regulations concerning diagnosis of malaria and ant malarial drugs and their utilization in a country formulated in 2004 the main components are:

1- Ensuring early diagnosis and prompt treatment.2- Multiple prevention such as vector control ,insecticide

treated nets and intermittent preventive treatment for pregnant mother;

3- Forecasting ,early detection and containment of the epidemics;

4- Strengthening of the malaria control activities through improvement of the information system and implementation of operational research results.(5)

1.2 - Problem statement

An estimated 3.4 billion people are at risk of malaria, of which 1.2 billion are at high risk. In high-risk areas, more than one malaria case occurs per 1000 population.

There were an estimated 207 million cases of malaria in 2012 and an estimated 627 000 deaths, 90% of all malaria deaths occur in sub-Saharan Africa.

In 2012, malaria killed an estimated 482 000 children under five years of age. That is 1300 children every day or one child almost every minute. (1)

A national, cross-sectional, complex-sample, health facility survey was conducted in Malawi to assess patient-, health worker-, and health facility-level factors associated with malaria case management quality using multivariate Poisson regression models found that:

Among the 2,019 patients surveyed, 34% had confirmed malaria, 67% of which correctly prescribed the first-line anti-malarial, 31% of patients without confirmed malaria were over treated with an anti-malarial, The most important determinants of correct malaria case management were patient-level clinical symptoms, such as spontaneous complaint of fever to health workers, which increased both correct treatment and overtreatment by 72 and 210%, respectively, this reflect that health workers must systematically assess all patients for fever, and then test and treat accordingly, otherwise, malaria control programmes might miss an opportunity to dramatically improve malaria case management, despite better diagnostic tools.(6)

The problem should be about sudan

More than 50% of the Mediterranean region population lives in areas in which there is a risk of contracting malaria. Based on 2010 estimates, about 10.4 million people were affected by malaria and 15 000 people die of malaria in the Region every year. (2)

Based on the reported data in 2011, Malaria remains problematic in Pakistan, Sudan, South Sudan, Somalia and Yemen; where large numbers of cases were reported between 2000 and 2010 with no discernable downward trend noted.Malaria is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in Sudan, Symptomatic malaria accounted for 9.3% of outpatients’ clinic visits and 8.7% of hospital admissions in 2011. Case fatality rate among admitted patients is 2.6%, while overall country reported case fatality rate of 0.05% of all reported malaria cases, and an annual reported malaria incidence of 357/10,000 population attending outpatient clinics .(3) .

Cross sectional study done on 2011 about Self-reported fever, treatment actions and malaria infection prevalence in the northern states of Sudan reflect that, parasitological diagnosis of all fevers before treatment is an appropriate strategy for malaria case-management. Improved regulation and supervision of health workers is required to increase the use of diagnostics and remove the practice of prescribing artemisinin monotherapy. (7).

In Khartoum state from routine data (weekly report from epidemiology department) from sentinel sites first quarter of 2014 reported about 12418 cases of malaria, 12376 of which diagnose on clinical bases only. In Khartoum North locality about…….. this may be due to many factors that related to malaria control. Adherence to national malaria protocol is one of the important

6

components in malaria control, it is questioned weather there is adherence to a good level or not? (8).

1.2 Justification

Malaria is the silent emergency that kills 1300 children every day or one child almost every minute Over one million people die from malaria each year, mostly children under five years of age, with 90 per cent of malaria cases occurring in Africa, south of the Sahara. Malaria hampers children's schooling and social development. Many children who survive a serious attack of malaria develop physical and mental impairment.Pregnant women and their unborn children are also particularly vulnerable to malaria, as a result of low birth weight and maternal anaemia.Infants born to mothers with malaria are more likely to have low birth weight – the single greatest risk factor for death during the first months of life.Almost An estimated 3.4 billion people are at risk of malaria, of which 1.2 billion are at high risk

Prompt and effective case management is needed to reduce malaria morbidity and mortality. However, malaria diagnosis and treatment is a multistep process that remains problematic in many settings, resulting in missed opportunities for effective treatment as well as overtreatment of patients without malaria.(9).

The outcome of my study will hopefully improve knowledge & practice about national malaria protocol in Khartoum North locality, so as to participate effectively in malaria cases management and control of malaria.

3.8- Methods of data collection

Structured questionnaire for health cadres in sentinel site will be filled by trained personnel.

Training program:

Training start on January three weeks for one month for about 20 medical doctors in each week for first 2 weeks then 14 +one medical assistant for the last week about national malaria protocol I will do it in the hospitals after permission from hospital or health center directorate I consider number of basic facilities and equipment must be organized before training can begin. Ideally, one large room should be available for presentations and group discussions; pictures projected by the overhead and/or slide projectors will be seen more easily if the level of lighting can be controlled. Chairs and small tables or desks will be needed for this room. Whatever the conditions, I do my best to ensure that the learners are as comfortable as possible in the circumstances available.

Teaching equipmentFor teaching sessions and group discussions:

Multimedia & computer or overhead projector Slide projector Screen Flip chart's papers, stand and markers Blackboard and chalks

For health facilities work:

Sphygmomanometer Stethoscope Thermometer Weighing scale

Learner's equipment Copies of the national protocol for treatment of malaria Learner's guides Notebooks Pens

I will evaluate the training through pre and post course questionnaires, consisting of multiple choice and open-ended question ,Each multiple-choice question is provided with a list of possible answers from which the doctors select the one they think it is correct. At the end I will analyze the results to identify topics that were not clearly understood. I depend on standard malaria treatment training guide (schedules of training annex).

3.9- Tools of data collection

Structured questionnaire for the medical doctor before and after training.

3.11- Data management

Data will be collected and cleared in the field for the consistency and completeness.

Data will be entered in the soft ware program. Descriptive statistics; Mean, Stander deviation, Frequencies

and percentages. Inferential statistics; Confidence interval, multiple logistic

regression and chi-square tests will be used for testing the significance. P Values less than 0.05 will be considered statistically significant.

4-Ethical consideration

The proposal will be submitted to ethical review committee (SMSB)Participants: confidentiality & informed consent will be insured before any subject will be enrolled in the study

Quality assurance: Quality control will be one of the major activities to be carried out

during the course of the study. This will be granted by regular and

frequent supervision to the data collection sites by the principal

investigator to ensure quality of collected data. Regular checks at

the field level will be done to ensure the completeness, consistency

and correctness of filled questionnaires. Quality of data entry will

be assured by a double entry method. In addition, entered data will

be cleaned and checked for completeness, consistency and

correctness.

Challenge:Are the continuous turn over for the staff. I will minimize the effect of that by doing on job training for the new cadre continuously
