EIRG
- Perform cluster randomised controlled trial of CRP guided treatment in acute respiratory infections and fevers, to be performed in 48 health centres and in over 50,000 patients.
- Design optimal packages for the extension of the role of village malaria workers to village health workers. We have received funding approval for the establishment of a network of 520 VHWs across the region in whom we will collect data and samples on the causes, incidence and outcomes of febrile illness, and run cluster RCTs for new diagnostics and other interventions to improve the care of non-malarial febrile illness in the region.
- Using aetiology and biomarker data from the largest ever fever study to design fever management algorithms.
