1. Complete treatment	Treatment of malaria with appropriate schizonticidal and gametocidal drugs in adequate dose and duration appropriate to species, age and pregnancy status of the patients as given in national malaria treatment guidelines. The duration is calculated as delivery of complete course of drugs for adequate duration along with first dose of antimalarial drugs as there is no follow up done after delivery of first dose of anti-malarial drugs
2. Incomplete treatment	Partial course (dose or duration) of either schizonticidal drugs or gametocidal drugs or both. Treatment with appropriate schizonticidal drugs (full course) according to malaria species but not gametocidal drugs as per national malaria treatment guidelines
3. Inappropriate treatment	Treatment with schizonticidal and gametocidal drugs not in line with malaria species as per national malaria treatment guidelines
