Elizeus Rutebemberwa, George Pariyo, Stefan Peterson, Goran Tomson, Karin Kallander Malaria Journal 2009, 8:45 (14 March 2009) This paper deals with a very relevant topic: how to improve access to health care. The authors provide a good insight for reasons why caretakers may still prefer to take their children to the private sector despite having to pay a fee as oppose to the Governmental hospitals.

Case study
Heidi Hopkins, Ambrose Talisuna, Christopher JM Whitty, Sarah G Staedke Malaria Journal 2007, 6:134 (8 October 2007) Home-based management of malaria, which involves presumptively treating febrile children with pre-packaged antimalarial drugs distributed by members of the community, is promoted as a major strategy to improve prompt delivery of effective malaria treatment in Africa. Of 1,069 potentially relevant publications identified, only six studies were identified as meeting inclusion criteria. Heterogeneity of the evaluations, including variability in study design, precluded meta-analysis and overall results were mixed.

Home-based management of fever in rural Uganda: community perceptions and provider opinions Xavier Nsabagasani, Jesca-Nsungwa-Sabiiti, Karin Källander, Stefan Peterson, George Pariyo, Göran Tomson Malaria Journal 2007, 6:11 (26 January 2007) The study deals with one of the cornerstones of malaria control in sub-Saharan Africa, in one of the few countries implementing HBM as a national programme, entirely managed by the MoH. It describes community perceptions and provider opinions about the HBM programme, providing useful information to policy makers.
