  abstract = {{M}any {A}frican countries have begun to scale-up home-based management of malaria ({HMM}) with artemisinin-based combination therapy. {E}vidence shows that this strategy gives efficient results in reducing the malaria burden. {T}his initiative should be promoted to reduce malaria-related mortality and morbidity. {HMM} could, however, lead to critical public health problems, including the misdiagnosis of serious infections distinct from malaria as well as desertion of the public health system. {I} wish to emphasise the importance of improving the existing health system in {A}frican malaria-endemic areas for long-term improvement of population health in this context of {HMM} implementation.},
