Coordinated seasonal malaria chemoprevention in eligible settings.
About seasonal malaria chemoprevention
Seasonal malaria chemoprevention is a programme intervention used in eligible settings where malaria transmission is highly seasonal. Implementation follows approved national guidance and local planning arrangements.
Planning and eligibility
Programme teams determine implementation areas, eligible groups and delivery schedules using the applicable guidance and local context. Eligibility and any clinical questions should be confirmed with trained health workers.
Community delivery
Delivery requires trained teams, reliable supplies, supervision and clear communication with caregivers. Community engagement helps families understand the campaign process and where to raise questions.
Monitoring and follow-up
Teams document delivery, track implementation issues and follow established procedures for reporting concerns. Monitoring supports quality improvement and planning for subsequent rounds.
