Definition
Step-by-step poster for health professional preparing and administering artesunate injections.
WHO recommends parenteral artesunate in preference to quinine and artemether for the treatment of severe P. falciparum malaria in adults and children. Intravenous (IV) injection is the preferred route of administration although intramuscular (IM) injection is also possible.
To ensure that healthcare providers fully understand how to prepare and administer artesunate injection safely and correctly, these training materials were developed by WHO to illustrate the different steps and facilitate the correct use of the product.
