Methods and Approaches to Distribution • Fixed Points, but we experimented with door-to-door in an urban district in the 4th cycle. Also in the 2nd cycle we commenced redeployment of teams. • Site Numbers: 350 and in the 4th cycle 145 teams were used for the door-to-door experiment in that district.
Composition of Distribution Teams (by Method) • A Site Manager : organises running the site and administers RDTs to children with fever; • A Registrar and Selector: Selects the children, fills in the register and gives record cards; • Two Drug Administrators (one for each age group): Administer the relevant products to children according to age group; • Hygienist: ensures site safety, washes the distribution cups and cleans children if there are cases of vomiting; • Task Officer to manage side-effects and referrals for fever: Manages cases of side-effects and provides the reference for non-eligible children • Security Officer: Provides order (Orderly queuing and respect of the steps necessary in the distribution chain) • Presence / absence of Health Worker (nurses or otherwise): Health workers are present during distributions
Training and Tools (II) • Have the manuals and tools actually been used • Not all manuals and tools are used • List of tools and manuals used • Trainer’s Practical Manual • Supervisor’s Practical Manual • Changes considered for 2016 (reductions / modifications) • Summarise the manuals and tools and focus on data collection, referrals and pharmacovigilance
