Outreach Training and Supportive Supervision for Quality Malaria Service Delivery: A Qualitative Evaluation in 11 Sub-Saharan African Countries.

Quality improvement of malaria services aims to ensure that more patients receive accurate diagnosis, appropriate treatment, and referral. The Outreach Training and Supportive Supervision Plus (OTSS+) approach seeks to improve health facility readiness and provider competency through onsite supportive supervision, troubleshooting, and on-the-job training. As part of a multicomponent evaluation, qualitative research was conducted to understand the value of the OTSS+ approach for malaria quality improvement.
