Several strategies can be employed to optimize the use of ACTs:
Combination Strategies: Using a variety of ACT combinations can reduce the likelihood of resistance development. Rotating different combinations based on local resistance patterns can be effective. Integrated Approaches: Combining ACTs with other malaria control strategies, such as insecticide-treated bed nets and indoor residual spraying, can enhance overall control efforts. Community Engagement: Educating communities about the importance of completing the full course of ACTs and improving health-seeking behavior can lead to better adherence and outcomes.
