To accelerate and realize a malaria free country, malaria management measures remain a key public health priority, and patients play a key role in all strategies. Several studies have posited differing experiences regarding patients’ adherence to ACT. The objective of this study was to determine the factors influencing patients’ adherence to malaria ACT treatment in Kamuli District, Uganda.
