Malaria Consortium Disease Control Better Health Seasonal Malaria Key takeaways: in 2023, 53 million children were protected by seasonal malaria chemoprevention (smc) in 18 countries. 1. chemoprevention has proven to be efficacious and cost effective, particularly in children, who are at the greatest risk of dying from malaria. given the large scale deployment, mmv supports optimal implementation of smc. Malaria consortium’s smc programme has been a givewell top charity since 2016. givewell estimates that the cost of protecting one child from malaria through this program is about $7 — $1.66 for one of (typically) four monthly treatments and that approximately $5000 is enough to save a life.

The combination of seasonal chemoprevention (which when used alone has a high level of efficacy against uncomplicated and severe malaria 2) with seasonal vaccination with rts,s as01 e provides a. Overview . seasonal malaria chemoprevention (smc) is the intermittent administration of a curative dose of antimalarial medicine to children at high risk of severe malaria living in areas with seasonal transmission, regardless of whether they are infected with malaria. Background seasonal malaria chemoprevention (smc) is a highly effective intervention for preventing malaria, particularly in areas with highly seasonal transmission. monitoring and evaluating (m&e) smc programmes are complex due to the scale, time sensitive delivery of the programme, and influence of external factors. this paper describes the process followed to develop a comprehensive m&e.
