Fig 2. Radical cure primaquine policies in African countries.

Most countries do not include primaquine in their malaria treatment policies or have no policy (shown in red). Countries that have radical cure for vivax malaria (0.25 mg/kg/day for 14 days) as policy are shown in blue; dark blue: G6PD deficiency testing required prior to primaquine treatment, light blue: testing not required. Table 4 provides specific details on countries’ policies and implementation and/or upcoming modifications.
