Figure 5. — Percentage of children less than 5 years of age with fever who sought care and were treated with antimalarial drugs, Malawi, 2000–2010. Caregivers of children under five with a fever in the 2 weeks before the Demographic and Health Survey and Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey (MICS) interview were asked about the care seeking and treatment their child received for the fever. *Care seeking refers to seeking advice or treatment of fever from a public or private health professional or from a pharmacy, including health surveillance assistants/community health workers, but excluding shops and traditional healers. Care seeking was not included in the 2006 MICS. **The recommended first-line antimalarial was sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine in 2000, 2004, and 2006 and artemisinin-based combination therapy (artemether-lumefantrine) in 2010.
