Abstract

INTRODUCTION: parasites resistant to artemisinin-based combination therapies (ACTs) in Africa, healthcare providers are pivotal in the optimal effectiveness of these drugs. This systematic review was designed to analyze knowledge, attitudes, and practices of healthcare providers toward antimalarial drug prescriptions in Cameroon. METHODS: The study was registered with PROSPERO (CRD42024596768). Reference databases were queried to identify the studies as per PRISMA guidelines. The methodological quality of studies was assessed using the JBI tools. RESULTS: malaria treatment, and therapeutic management of special populations. CONCLUSIONS: Collectively, the findings outline the need to reinforce awareness strategies in healthcare providers and address the identified gaps to achieve successful malaria control in Cameroon.
