Medication errors in malaria management in children: insights from pharmacovigilance data in the Democratic Republic of Congo

Abstract

Non-compliance with national guidelines for the management of malaria is important in DRC. Our study amply demonstrates the need to strengthen the four pillars of the WHO's third global challenge, "Medication without harm", to reduce medication errors. This study advocates a significant mobilisation of resources for the training of health professionals and the strengthening of pharmacovigilance. Field studies on the management of malaria in children should be conducted to quantify drug errors.
