In 2021, the Ministry of Health, Uganda, collaborated with Malaria Consortium to conduct a five-month phase 1 implementation study to assess the acceptability and feasibility of seasonal malaria chemoprevention (SMC) with sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine (SP) and amodiaquine (SPAQ) in two districts of Karamoja region, where malaria transmission is highly seasonal.
This poster was presented at the Multilateral Initiative on Malaria (MIM) Society's 8th Pan-African Malaria Conference.
