Abstract Background Seasonal malaria chemoprevention (SMC) is a highly effective intervention for prevention in high burden areas with seasonal transmission, historically implemented the Sahel. Mozambique contributes to 4% of global cases. Malaria Consortium, partnership National Control Programme, conducted two-year phased SMC study Nampula province using sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine (SP) plus amodiaquine (AQ), or SPAQ, children under five. Phase one results presented here highlight...
Seasonal malaria chemoprevention (SMC) is a highly effective intervention to prevent in children, high transmission areas that have seasonal peaks. Since 2020, SMC with sulfadoxine -pyrimethamine plus amodiaquine (SPAQ) has been implemented northern Mozambique. During campaigns community leaders are involved the sensitisation and mobilisation of households prior start round. This qualitative study explores perceptions among caregivers other stakeholders importance leader distributor...
Seasonal malaria chemoprevention (SMC) is a highly effective community-based intervention to prevent infections in areas where the burden high and transmission occurs mainly during rainy season. In Africa, so far, SMC has been implemented Sahel region. Mozambique contributes 4% of global cases, responsible for one-quarter all deaths country. Based on recommendations Malaria Strategic Plan, Consortium, partnership with National Control Programme Mozambique, initiated phased implementation...

<sec> <title>BACKGROUND</title> Seasonal malaria chemoprevention (SMC) is a highly effective community-based intervention to prevent infections caused by Plasmodium falciparum in areas where the burden of high and transmission seasonal. SMC commonly seen as success story Sahel region, however, there are regions east southern Africa seasonal, high. The same decision-making frameworks that were used unlikely be applicable due higher pre-existing resistance drugs used, seasonality...
