Seasonal Malaria Chemoprevention (SMC) with sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine (SP) plus amodiaquine (AQ), given each month during the transmission season, is recommended for children living in areas of Sahel where malaria highly seasonal. The recommendation SMC currently limited to under five years age, but, many seasonal transmission, burden older may justify extending this age limit. This study was done determine effectiveness Senegalese up ten age.SMC introduced into three districts over central...
Questions remain concerning the rapidity of immune responses and durability safety vaccines used to prevent Zaire Ebola virus disease.
The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the development of AI-driven tools to improve public health surveillance and outbreak management. While AI programs have shown promise in disease surveillance, they also present issues such as data privacy, prejudice, human-AI interactions. This sixth session WHO Pandemic Epidemic Intelligence Innovation Forum examines use Artificial (AI) by collecting experience key global organizations, Boston Children's Hospital, Global South for & Preparedness Response...
Despite recent advances in malaria diagnosis and treatment, many isolated communities rural settings continue to lack access these life-saving tools. Community-case management of (CCMm), consisting lay health workers (LHWs) using rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) artemisinin-based combination therapy (ACT) their villages, can address this disparity. This study examined routine reporting data from a CCMm programme between 2008 2011 Saraya, district Senegal, assessed its impact on timely ACT....
SMC has been introduced widely in the Sahel since its recommendation by WHO 2012. This study, which provided evidence of feasibility that supported recommendation, included school-age and pre-school children. School-age children were not 2012 but bear an increasing proportion cases. In 2006, consultations with health-staff held to choose delivery methods. The preferred approach, door-to-door first daily-dose supervised a community-health-worker (CHW), was piloted subsequently evaluated on...
Abstract Community engagement is commonly regarded as a crucial entry point for gaining access and securing trust during humanitarian emergencies. In this article, we present three case studies of community encounters the West African Ebola outbreak. They represent strategies implemented by response to epidemic: communication through comités de veille villageois in Guinea, with NGO-affiliated leadership structures Liberia indirect mediation chiefs Sierra Leone. These are based on...
Net care and repair behaviours are essential for prolonging the durability of long-lasting insecticidal nets. Increased net has implications protection against malaria as well cost savings from less frequent distributions. This study investigated motivations in Senegal with aim informing social behaviour change communication (SBCC) programmes, using Health Belief Model a framework. Data were collected 114 participants eight regions Senegal. Participants eligible if they at least 18 years old...
To improve the coverage of intermittent preventive treatment malaria in pregnancy (IPTp) Africa, Medicines for Malaria Venture (MMV) developed, tested and validated a new packaging sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine (SP), as well specific communications tools designed to knowledge IPTp motivation women adhere it, particularly if it is distributed by community health workers (CHW).
### Summary box How prepared were we for this most recent Ebola outbreak? Real-time emergent research is imperative successful response to global health emergencies. While innovative biomedical interventions are certainly important,1 local on-the-ground realities during the 2014–2015 West African epidemic demanded a different though complementary set of skills. Effective required deep, sensitive understandings dynamics and flexible, solution. Emergency intervention called evolving, flexible...
This study aims to identify the factors influencing vaccine hesitancy, willingness and its variation over time in order inform more responsive strategies for increasing vaccination uptake. The specific objectives are: (1) describe compare levels of COVID-19 hesitancy among general population rural urban settings West Africa (2) associated with across five African countries time.
Résumé Depuis 2006, le Sénégal a changé sa politique de traitement du paludisme. Il expérimente aussi préventif intermittent (TPI) saisonnier chez l’enfant, pour proposer généralisation. Cet article analyse la faisabilité cette stratégie, dont l’une des singularités est responsabilisation relais communautaires son administration. Les résultats issus recherches qualitatives (entretiens approfondis, observations directes, focus-group) auprès prestataires (relais) et bénéficiaires (populations)...
High discontinuation rates of contraceptive methods have been documented in sub-Saharan Africa. However, little is known about gaps within individual episodes method use, despite their implications for unintended pregnancies. The objective this mixed study was to examine the prevalence of, and explore factors contributing to, delays repeat appointments pills injectables Senegal.
Despite recent advances in the fight against disease, malaria remains a serious threat to health and well-being of populations endemic countries. The use long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLIN) reduces contact between vector humans, thereby reducing transmission disease. LLINs have become an essential component control programmes worldwide.The Culture Net Use study used qualitative quantitative methods longitudinal iterative design over two phases, order capture changes net year half period...
We explain here the processes through which social injustice is created, indicators that define status, and mechanism express them in field of health. Because we do not believe they come out any natural process, seek to discover extent are socially produced. The data use from a qualitative survey conducted rural community (Malicounda, Senegal) targeting pregnant women those giving birth. results show individual environments, policies maternal health services women's standing contribute...
Durant l’épidémie d’Ebola en Afrique de l’Ouest, l’engagement communautaire a été considéré comme une des meilleures stratégies pour lutter contre elle, un principe réaffirmé dans la période post-épidémique mise œuvre d’essais vaccinaux. Cet article rend compte, manière descriptive, du processus modélisation communautés l’essai vaccinal PREVAC Guinée Conakry et contribution l’anthropologie à son design opérationnalisation. Les résultats indiquent que les enquêtes ethnographiques (histoires...
In Niger, malaria is the leading cause of mortality and morbidity among pregnant women children under 5 years. To decrease these rates, country initiated a prevention policy free distribution long-lasting impregnated nets (LLINs). However, improved physical access to this preventive tool has not led its regular use in households. A nationally representative quantitative qualitative survey sought document reasons for non-use. The results show that possession LLIN quite low confirm utilization...
Perennial malaria chemoprevention (PMC) aims to protect children at risk from severe by the administration of anti-malarial drugs defined ages throughout year. Sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine (SP) has been widely used for in Africa and a child-friendly dispersible tablet formulation recently become available.
Introduction : Au Sénégal, différentes mesures ont été prises pour gérer la COVID-19. Si peur a favorisé leur observance au début, ce sentiment va céder place à des réticences, mettant en débat acceptabilité sociale. Pour que ces soient acceptées, décision doit s’ancrer dans compréhension contextes sociaux, le dialogue et l’écoute communautés. Parce qu’elles engagent vie humaine, définition nécessite aussi une délibération éthique. But de l’étude La réflexion porté sur l’analyse...

Cet article documente le processus de mise en œuvre du Traitement préventif intermittent TPI), une stratégie prévention paludisme dont l'administration est couplée au Programme élargi vaccination (PEV) dans les services santé, réactions des prestataires, populations et leurs facteurs explicatifs. Les résultats montrent que l'absence connaissances adéquates à propos TPI n'a pas empêché son appropriation par communautés, la mesure où perceptions lui accordent valeur pratique l'intègrent...
