Seasonal Malaria Chemoprevention Campaign in The Gambia

In The Gambia, malaria is one of the first causes of consultations during the rainy season. The consequences of malaria are numerous and the disease has a heavy impact on the country economic growth. In 2015 and 2016, the ACCESS-SMC project joins forces with the National Malaria Control Program to ensure the implementation of SMC in 2 regions (18 districts). In The Gambia, a door to door strategy is used to deliver the treatment by 742 health workers, trained on SMC fundamentals and interpersonal communication. The project allowed 164 161 children in The Gambia to be protected from malaria thanks to SMC.
