highlights the challenges faced by communities in accessing malaria services -- including availability and cost of services -- in conflict-affected regions of Cameroon . The study underscores the critical need to address these barriers, exploring potential solutions to improve demand for essential services.
To improve access, Cameroon's Ministry of Health implemented a Community Health Strategy, deploying community health workers to provide malaria care services. However, the study identified several barriers limiting the use of community health worker services, including poor availability of health workers in some communities, stockouts of diagnostic tests and treatments, and cost of treatment being unaffordable for many.
