An Evidence Brief on Patient Adherence to treatment: Improving the use of P. vivax radical cure treatment in the Asia Pacific

This brief aims to collate available evidence on adherence of vivax patients to primaquine radical cure in the Asia Pacific region and draw from the learnings of adherence to medication of other diseases. This brief will be useful to the National Malaria Programs and other stakeholders working in antimalarial response in the region to understand the current evidence and improve patient adherence to primaquine by formulating and integrating appropriate interventions into their routine activities.

This is an evidence brief developed on patient adherence for the APMEN vivax working group. Patient adherence is one of the key priorities National Malaria Programs are trying to address to ensure high coverage of Plasmodium vivax radical cure
