In Uganda, a policy of home-based management of fever (HBMF) has been adopted, but evidence of the effectiveness of the program is limited. Objectives: In this study, home delivery of artemether-lumefantrine (AL) for presumptive treatment of fever in children aged less than six years was compared to the current standard of care for childhood fever in Kampala, Uganda.
