Discussion

Cross-sectional study assesses pharmacy auxiliaries' knowledge and attitudes regarding malaria, highlighting areas for improvement.

More than 50% of pharmacy auxiliaries showed good knowledge of malaria management, but attitudes towards treatment remained deficient.
Experience and qualification were significantly associated with better knowledge of malaria, particularly among those with first-cycle diplomas.
Although good knowledge was observed, less than 50% demonstrated appropriate attitudes for diagnosing malaria in pregnant women.
Improving attitudes and ensuring the availability of diagnostic tools are essential for malaria elimination by 2030.

Ouédraogo et al. (2025) studied this question.
