Seasonal malaria chemoprevention (SMC) for children < 5 is a strategy that gaining popularity in West African countries. Although its efficacy to reduce incidence has been demonstrated trials, the effects of SMC implemented routine program conditions, outside experimental contexts, are unknown. In 2014 and 2015, survey was conducted 1,311 households located Kaya District (Burkina Faso) where had recently introduced. All 72 months were tested anemia. A pre–post study with control group...
Malaria is holo-endemic in Burkina Faso and causes approximately 40,000 deaths every year. In 2010, health authorities scaled up community case management of malaria with artemisinin-based combination therapy. Previous trials pilot project evaluations have shown that this strategy may be feasible, acceptable, effective under controlled implementation conditions. However, little known about its effectiveness or feasibility/acceptability real-world conditions at national scale. A panel study...
