This study investigated unlicensed drug outlets’ practices for the management of malaria in the rural district of Butaleja, Uganda.
A qualitative design using semistructured interviews was used.
Interviews were recorded, translated, transcribed, and analyzed using thematic analysis.
A total of 75 vendors, representing 85% of the outlets in the study area, were interviewed.
Most of the vendors were associated with a drug shop type of outfit.
About three-quarters reported having completed some level of postsecondary education, but just one-tenth of the vendors had qualifications that made them eligible to apply for a license to operate a drug shop.
While most outlets stocked at least one type of antimalarial, only about one-quarter stocked an artemisinin-based combination therapy (ACT), one-quarter expressed a preference for ACTs, and less than one-tenth attested to firmly adhering to the national malaria treatment guidelines on dispensing ACTs as the first-line option.
In contrast, nine out of 10 vendors stocked quinine and well over a third stocked antimalarials no longer recommended, such as chloroquine and sulphadoxine-pyrimethamine.
Given the ongoing gap between the national malaria policy and unlicensed drug outlet practices, this study calls for greater engagement of unlicensed vendors to improve the management of childhood malaria.
