Identifying febrile illnesses early is an important part of strengthening malaria surveillance and response at the community level.
At Namwela Community Health Unit (CHU) in Sirisia Sub-County, Bungoma County, Community Health Promoters are participating in the Febrile Illness Surveillance Study, using HealthPulse AI to support the identification and reporting of febrile illnesses.
The study is also helping to identify practical gaps, including challenges with commodity availability and outdated mobile devices. Highlighting these gaps creates an opportunity for health teams to provide the resources and support needed to strengthen frontline services.
With stronger surveillance and closer links between communities and health facilities, Community Health Promoters are better positioned to support the early detection and response to febrile illnesses. This strengthens community efforts to prevent and respond to while supporting timely, quality care and progress towards Universal Health Coverage.
