Content
Advanced Control/pre-elimination
Elimination
Purpose of PCD
To target intervention, detect outbreak and track progress
Detect local and imported cases as soon as possible
Investigation and classify each case and focus
Provided immediate response and monitor progress toward malaria elimination
Essential data

7. Responsible for recording and transmission
Commune – commune health staff
District: M&E staff
Province: data manager
Central: staff at the Statistic unit of Malaria/epidemiology

8. Data on blood examination
Current: Pv, P.f, P.m, P.o, mix infection
In the pre-elimination/elimination: parasite count, gametocyte presence

9. Data use and level in control phase
To target intervention,

Track progress at commune level

10. Advanced Control/pre-elimination
SOP for case-based malaria surveillance for advanced control/pre-elimination phase - ACD
Content
Advanced Control/pre-elimination
Elimination
Purpose of ACD
Detection of cases in high risk groups especially migrant (limited)
Fill to the gaps in PCD system, in order to detect infection as early as possible, with particular focus on high risk groups
Essential data
Name, age, sex, pregnant, address, occupation, ethnicity, epi. Zone, fever, examination (microscopy/RDT), result of examination, Dx, Tx.
Name, age, sex, pregnant, address (permanent & temporary), occupation, ethnicity, epi. Zone, commune, village, onset of fever, history of travel, fever of family member, probable source of infection, examination (microscopy/RDT), result of examination, parasite count + gametocyte, Dx, Tx.

11. Responsible for recording and transmission
Village health worker, Commune Health staff.
District: M&E staff
Province: M&E staff
Central: Statistic staff in Epidemiology department

12. Data on blood examination
Current: Pv, P.f, P.m, P.o, mix (if use RDT, only P.v, P.f an mix)
In the pre-elimination/elimination: parasite count, gametocyte only in microscopy.
PCR in elimination phase.

13. Data use and level in control phase
Detection of cases in high risk groups especially migrant and mobile people

14. 1.2. Case investigation for Elimination phase
Purpose:
To know whether indigenous or imported case
Details of confirmed cases
To target the response

15. Responsible for filling the form and timeline
Real time (24 h) reporting from Commune to district regarding the case.
Jointly Commune and district health staff will conduct investigation within 3 days, district staff fill the form.
Data will transmitted by Web
NIMPE and IMPEs check data
Commune, district staff will use this data (immediately)
Subsequently, provincial and central levels use this data for monitoring, planning purposes.

16. 1.3. RDT in elimination phase
Purpose:
Outbreak
Case detection - Malaria posts along the border and near the forest.
ACD
Responsible:
– Village level
Staff at malaria post
Commune health staff

17. 1.3. Microscopy in elimination phase
Purpose:
Case detection – at all levels.
ACD
Responsible:
Commune health staff
Other health staff at all levels

18. Double check by microscopy
Currently, RDTs positives are double checked by microscopy (RDT is used only in 29 provinces out of 63).
In elimination phase, positive RDT will be double checked by microscopy in whole country
Commune health staff will prepare blood slide from RDT positive, and send to District level.
In case of negative RDT, only in 14 provinces (high malaria endemic and drug resistance) will be cross checked by microscopy.
Commune health staff will prepare slides and send to district.

19. Discrepancies of result
Currently, district, provincial and central levels data is cleaned for discrepancies
Will seek possibilities to conduct this in the web
