Seasonal malaria chemoprevention is a cost-effective intervention in northern Mozambique.

Malaria is one of the leading causes of death among children under five in Mozambique. In 2020, Mozambique adopted seasonal malaria chemoprevention (SMC) as a strategy to accelerate malaria elimination in the highest burden areas. Between January and April 2023, SMC was implemented across all 23 districts in Nampula province, targeting 1.4 million children 3–59 months. This study estimated the cost-effectiveness of SMC in Nampula province, Mozambique.
