Monitoring and evaluation of intervals from onset of fever to diagnosis before 1-3-7 approach in malaria elimination: a retrospective study in Shanxi Province China from 2013 to 2018

摘要

BackgroundChina’s 1-3-7 approach was extensively implemented to monitor the timeframe of case reporting, case investigation and foci response in the malaria elimination. However, activities before diagnosis and reporting (before ‘1’) would counteract the efficiency of 1-3-7 approach but few data have evaluated this issue. This study aims to evaluate the timelines between onset of fever and diagnosis at healthcare facilities in Shanxi Province.
