Malaria prevention works best when communities work together.

Families, community leaders, health workers, schools, local governments and the private sector all have a role in
preventing malaria.

Community participation improves awareness, encourages early care-seeking and helps
prevention programmes reach the people who need them.

Share reliable malaria information, support community prevention activities, encourage
neighbours to sleep inside insecticide-treated nets and seek prompt testing when ill.

Severe malaria is a medical emergency. It can affect vital organs, causing convulsions, impaired consciousness and breathing difficulties.

Seek immediate hospital care. Treatment often requires injectable or IV artesunate. Never attempt to manage suspected severe malaria at home.

Severe malaria is a medical emergency. Act immediately.

Severe malaria can affect the brain, breathing, kidneys and other vital organs. It may cause convulsions, impaired
consciousness, severe breathing difficulties or other life-threatening complications.

It requires urgent hospital
management, usually including injectable or intravenous artesunate and further treatment as clinically indicated.

Take anyone with danger signs to the nearest appropriate emergency facility immediately.
Never attempt to manage suspected severe malaria at home

Malaria is treatable. Use the right medicine.

For confirmed uncomplicated malaria, recommended artemisinin-based combination therapies (ACTs) are the
standard treatment in Nigeria.

The appropriate medicine and dose depends on the patient's circumstances,
including age, weight and clinical assessment.

Obtain treatment from a qualified health provider, take the prescribed
medicine exactly as directed and complete the full course.

Malaria can progress rapidly, particularly in young children, pregnant women and other vulnerable people.

Seek care as soon as fever or other symptoms suggest malaria. Convulsions, confusion, extreme weakness, difficulty
breathing, inability to drink or breastfeed, or reduced consciousness require emergency medical attention.

Visit a health facility promptly when symptoms begin. If danger signs appear, seek emergency
care immediately, do not wait for a routine appointment or test result.

Fever? Don't assume it is malaria!

Fever, headache, chills, weakness and body aches may occur with malaria, but other illnesses can cause similar
symptoms.

Treating every fever as malaria without testing can delay the correct treatment for another condition.

If you or your child develops a fever, visit a health facility promptly for assessment and malaria
testing. Do not rely on symptoms alone.

03/11/2026

Seasonal Malaria Chemoprevention (SMC) provides preventive antimalarial medicines to eligible children in
designated areas during the malaria transmission season.
It helps reduce malaria infections and the risk of severe
illness. SMC is preventive care, not a replacement for testing and treatment when a child becomes ill.

When SMC teams visit your community, confirm your child's eligibility and follow the instructions
of trained health workers. Complete each recommended dose as directed.
