| Research Abstract |
Although Madagascar National Malaria Program recommendation requires that rapid diagnostic test results should be the determinant of antimalarial prescription, it seems difficult to achieve the complete adherence in Madagascar’s primary care context because of the multitude of factors. Under the basic tension between the best benefit of society and that of an individual, several factors urged health workers not to respect test results, while there are situations where procurement of antimalarial medications is relatively easy. Thus efforts to modify those factors should be made in order to materialize and sustain the recommendation.
