StopPalu
Objectives
StopPalu project aimed to assist the government of Guinea to achieve targets in reducing malaria morbidity and mortality through multiple interventions in prevention, diagnosis and treatment, and capacity building of the Ministry of Health (MOH) and the National Malaria Control Program (NMCP).
StopPalu partnered with local governments, organizations, and communities to improve malaria prevention and care for the most vulnerable. Interventions include distribution of insecticide-treated nets (ITNs or bed nets), intermittent preventive treatment of malaria in pregnancy, malaria case management, malaria prevention among young children, and messaging activities.
StopPalu contributed to a reduction in the national malaria prevalence rate from 44% in 2012 to 15% in 2016 by training 1,400 volunteer community health workers (CHWs) in a set of skills known as malaria community case management; distributing 6 million bed nets to over 1.5 million households; and improving diagnostic capacity so that 100% of fever cases are tested for malaria.
