This interagency handbook was developed by the Roll Back Malaria(RBM) Technical Support Network on Complex Emergencies. It focuses on effective malaria control responses to complex emergencies, particularlyduring the acute phase when reliance on international humanitarian assistance is greatest. It provides policy-makers,planners, field programme managers and medical coordinators with practical guidance on designingand implementing measures to reduce malaria morbidity and mortality.
This case study focuses on malaria case management activities was implemented in Ssembabule District, Uganda, by Minnesota International HealthVolunteers (MIHV) during the second phase of a U.S. Agency forInternational Development (USAID)-funded Child Survival project (1996-2000).
This publication draws upon current guidelines and information documents issued by the World Health Organization (WHO), which provide more detailed guidance on implementation for each of the specific subject areas. The listed references are limited to key readings for implementation of programme activities and to texts that provide important additional background and supplementary information.
Reporting rate this week (82.9%) is five percentage points higher to that in the previous week, 2019W24 (77.9%) There were an increase in malaria morbidity this week. About 27,000 more malaria cases occurred this week (268,567) compared to 241,802 the previous week. About 8.6% (11/128) of districts reported <1 malaria case per 1,000 popula-tion. Compared to the previous week, that is a districts less. 32 districts reported >10 cases/1,000 population. Moyo District with 43 cases/1,000 population had the highest number of cases Similar number of malaria deaths occurred this week as the previous week.

Maracha District had 88% of facilities stocked out for ACTs, while Nabilatuk and Kole District with 67% and 75% of stocked out facilities topped the list.
Due to seasonal variation, this is the period of the year when we have the highest incidence of malaria in the country
,districts are requested to be extra vigilant on stocks and management of malaria.

These Guidelines on the management of latent tuberculosis infection were developed in accordance to the requirements and recommended process of the WHO Guideline Review Committee, and provide public health approach guidance on evidence-based practices for testing, treating and managing LTBI in infected individuals with the highest likelihood of progression to active disease.
The guidelines are also intended to provide the basis and rationale for the development of national guidelines. The guidelines are primarily targeted at high-income or upper middle-income countries with an estimated TB incidence rate of less than 100 per 100 000 population. Resource-limited and other middle-income countries that do not belong to the above category should implement the existing WHO guidelines on people living with HIV and child contacts below 5 years of age.
Reporting rate this week (85,4%) represents an almost 20% improvement in reporting rate from the pre-vious week, 2019W12 (65.9%)
There were almost 20,000 malaria cases more this week (117,040) ) compared to 97,077 reported the previous week. While there may be a real increase in the number of malaria cases, the improved report-ing rates may have played a role in this increase
There were 29 deaths this week, over 4 times more than the previous week (7). Wakiso District reported 8 deaths in Wagagai Health Center IV. Nine districts reported over 10 confirmed malaria cases per 1,000 population. These include the West Nile districts of Zombo, Maracha, Moyo and Adjumani. Others in the North are Amuru, Gulu, Nwoya and Omoro Districts. Namayingo was the other district. About 23% (29/128) of districts treated ≥15% of patients who tested negative with an ACT
Reporting rate this week (71.3) represents an almost 14% decline in reporting rate from the previous week, 2019W13 (85.4%)
There were almost 28,000 malaria cases less this week (89,355) compared to 117,040 reported the previous week. There were 22deaths this week, the same as in the previous week. Hoima and Nabilatuk each reported the highest number (3 deaths)The West Nile districts of Zombo, Maracha, Moyo and Nebbi continue to report at least 10 cases per 1,000 popula-tion per week About 84% (108/128) of districts had less than 60% of facilities report their ACT stock status. A similar proportion (106/128) had less than 60% reported malaria cases
The year 2015 is a watershed moment in the battle against tuberculosis (TB). It marks the deadline for global TB targets set in the context of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), and is a year of transitions: from the MDGs to a new era of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and from the Stop TB Strategy to the End TB Strategy. It is also two decades since WHO established a global TB monitoring system; since that time, 20 annual rounds of data collection have been completed.
Important recent changes or additions to guidelines for the management of tuberculosis (TB) in children have made it necessary to revise the first edition of Guidance for national tuberculosis programmes on the management of tuberculosis in children, published by WHO in 2006. Like the 2006 guidance, this document is targeted at national TB programmes, paediatricians and other health workers in low- and middle-income countries; it does not aim to outline recommendations for high-income countries with low TB prevalence. This distinction is especially important in the diagnostic approach and in contact investigation.
