Seasonal chemoprevention as an effective malaria preventive strategy for children in the Sahel
The ACCESS-SMC project, which ran from 2015 to 2017, provided up to 30 million seasonal malaria chemoprevention treatments to 7.5 million children under five per year for two years, preventing millions of cases of malaria and helping to avert many thousands of deaths.
