Home-Based Management of Malaria (HBMM) is one of the key strategies to reduce the burden of malaria for vulnerable populations in endemic countries. The strategy seeks to allow caregivers to have immediate health care from some selected and trained community members. The study sought to identify the cost drivers of presumptive malaria treatment and cost of seeking care from the community medicine distributors (CMDs). A cross-sectional study was done in the Ejisu-Juaben Municipality in the Ashanti Region. The study involved randomly selected 400 caregivers, (10) health staff and (90) community-based medicine distributors (CMDs).
