Integrating seasonal malaria chemoprevention into the national community health system in Savanes region, Togo

Authors: Fantche Awokou

The integration of SMC into the community health system is feasible under certain conditions, and its benefits can be sustained through the support of government and multiple stakeholders, and a system of supervision.

Our study aimed to explore the feasibility and acceptability of integrating seasonal malaria chemoprevention (SMC) into the national community health system in the Savanes region, Togo. We investigated the drivers and barriers to SMC implementation in the national community health system, as well as the perceptions of health providers, key national and international stakeholders, and community members.
