Prevent malaria- save lives: SMC in Burkina Faso (14 photos)
Published: 8 January 2018
Malaria Consortium supported Burkina Faso’s National Malaria Control Program scale up access to seasonal malaria chemoprevention (SMC) under the UNITAID funded ACCESS-SMC project. In 2017, over 3.9 million children were reached.
SMC is a treatment course of antimalarial medicines that prevent malaria in children under five (3-59 months) during the rainy season, when cases of malaria are highest.
