According to the Ministry of Health's guidelines for diagnosing and treating diseases, recurrent malaria must be accurately identified to implement appropriate interventions. Additionally, it is essential to differentiate recurrent malaria from other diseases to ensure patients complete the prescribed treatment regimen with confidence.

There are several cases where patients experience a relapse with malaria after receiving treatment at medical facilities and being sent home. The causes of malaria relapse are often due to improper treatment that does not follow established guidelines.
