seasonal malaria chemoprevention (smc)

How is SMC Implemented?

SMC is implemented through community health workers who administer the antimalarial drugs to eligible children. The regimen typically includes a combination of sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine (SP) and amodiaquine (AQ), given in three monthly doses during the peak transmission season. The implementation process involves community sensitization, training of health workers, and logistics planning to ensure that the drugs are available and administered correctly.
