The training covers the use of malaria rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) and the treatment of severe malaria. The fiv...e-day training programme includes interactive modules supported by job aids. The ideal group size is 20–30 participants, supported by a team of three trainers. Trainers should thoroughly review the manual, including the 'Adult Learning Techniques' module, and follow the 'Facilitator's Guide', while participants should use the 'Simplified Participant's Guide'. The training includes pre- and post-tests to assess knowledge improvement. Continuing Medical Education (CME) is encouraged after the training, and resources are provided in the appendix.

It aligns with national malaria treatme...nt guidelines and aims to improve the quality of care and reduce malaria-related illness and death. The manual covers key topics such as clinical assessment of fever, use of rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs), case management of uncomplicated and severe malaria, malaria in pregnancy, co-infections like HIV, as well as community engagement and proper documentation. It includes structured training sessions, case studies, and job aids designed to strengthen the skills of health workers in both public and private sectors, and to ensure standardized, evidence-based malaria care across the country.

The document provides detailed guidelines for diagnosing and managing cholera cases, with a focus on rehydration therapy and preventing dehydration-related fatalities. It outlines the use of oral rehydration salts (ORS), intrav...enous fluids for severe dehydration, and appropriate antibiotics for severe cases. The guide also emphasizes the importance of hygiene, safe water usage, and monitoring patient recovery to effectively control cholera outbreaks. It is designed as a practical resource for healthcare workers and public health officials.

The prevalence of both HIV and Hepatitis B is high in South Africa therefore there is a significant risk of acquiring these infections following exposure to infected material. Studies suggest that post- exposure prophylaxis (PEP) with highly active antiretroviral trea...tment (HAART) is highly effective in preventing HIV  infection  if  taken  correctly  for  the  full  recommended  duration  of  28  days,  and  that  prophylaxis  with  Hepatitis  B  immunoglobulin  and  vaccination  may  prevent  Hepatitis  B  infection  if  given  soon  after exposure. This update of the Western Cape guidelines for management of potentially infectious exposures  is  based  on  current  evidence  and  guidelines  issued  by  the  WHO,  NDoH  and  the  SA  HIV  Clinicians Society. The key aim is to promote successful completion of the recommended ART regimen in the 28 day period of therapy, as well as prevent infection with Hepatitis B

CDC DHDSP developed an online toolkit that consists of interactive e-learning modules that are designed to guide learners through the key features of the ten HMP components and prepare them for implementation at their health system. The online e-learning modules are accompanied by a PDF toolkit document that can be used as an additional resource for users.
The purposes of this toolkit and the associated online e-learning modules are to provide healthcare organizations:
An overview of the HMP, its ten core components, and suggestions for implementing the HMP in clinical settings.
Guidance to staff, administrators, and other healthcare professionals on how to implement and adapt the HMP for their unique clinical setting.

This is an appropriate time to celebrate what has been ach...ieved and to take the next step.
