The nine most prevalent conditions were upper respiratory tract infections (25%), malaria (18%), diarrhoea (9.9%), pneumonia (6.1%), skin problems (5.8%), gastrointestinal diagnoses (5%) [...] of cases that did not adhere to STG was highest with patients with skin problems and lowest for malaria. Conclusion: Prescribers' general adherence to national STG in primary HCF in the public sector in
