New malaria treatment plan put to the test in peru

This study looked at whether a new way to treat Malaria Vivax is practical for healthcare workers in Peru. The plan includes a simple test to check a patient's G6PD enzyme level before giving one of two medicines, tafenoquine or primaquine. Researchers trained healthcare providers and followed up with patients after 3 days to see if the new steps were followed correctly. 187 patients took part, and the goal was to see if this approach could work in real-world clinics.
