Speeches Shim
With ministries of health in the lead and in close collaboration with global partners, USAID has sustained its focus on supporting countries to scale up proven, cost-effective interventions against malaria. Key interventions supported include:
|
|
|
IRS treats the inside walls of homes with long-lasting insecticides. It is an effective way to kill mosquitoes and disrupt the transmission of malaria |
Insecticide-Treated Mosquito Nets ITNs physically block mosquitoes at night, when they are most likely to bite, and kill mosquitoes that land on them. |
Preventive Treatment in Pregnancy Ensuring women receive preventive treatment at prenatal visits after the first trimester can protect them and their babies against malaria. |
|
|
|
Effective case management uses testing to ensure patients with malaria are properly diagnosed and receive quality-assured treatment. |
Seasonal Malaria Chemoprevention SMC gives a monthly preventive treatment to children under five years of age to protect them from contracting malaria during peak transmission season. |
Social and behavior change, operational research, health systems strengthening, and data-related initiatives support more effective malaria programs. |
