Achieving elimination of soil-transmitted helminthiasis as a public health problem in Mali
Introduction Mali was endemic for soil-transmitted helminthiasis (STH), mainly hookworms in the southern regions. Following baseline mapping, mass drug administration (MDA) for STH was integrated with MDA for schistosomiasis for school-aged children (SAC) or lymphatic filariasis (LF) for populations aged five and older and vitamin A supplementation for preschool children. Epidemiological evaluations were conducted to assess progress towards elimi…
Micronutrient Powders Combined With Malaria Chemoprevention to Improve Anaemia and Cognitive Function in Early Childhood in Mali
A cluster-randomised controlled trial was conducted in 60 communities in southern Mali to evaluate the impact of micronutrient powders (MNP) combined with seasonal malaria chemoprevention (SMC) on anaemia (primary endpoint), Plasmodium infection, stunting and cognitive function in children < 5 years. The 60 communities were randomly allocated to the intervention or control arm, and cross-sectional biomedical and cognitive surveys were conducted a…
The impact of food assistance on food insecure populations during conflict
Mali, a vast landlocked country at the heart of West Africa in the Sahel region, is one of the least developed and most food insecure countries in the world. Mali suffered from a series of political, constitutional and military crises since January 2012, including the loss of government control of northern territories from April 2012 until January 2013. A range of humanitarian aid interventions were scaled up in response to these complex crises. …
Cost analysis of a school-based comprehensive malaria program in primary schools in Sikasso region, Mali
A comprehensive school-based control strategy may be a feasible and affordable way to address the burden of malaria among schoolchildren in the Sahel
A randomised trial in Mali of the effectiveness of weekly iron supplements given by teachers on the haemoglobin concentrations of schoolchildren
Objective: To assess the effect on the haemoglobin concentrations of schoolchildren of weekly iron tablets administered by teachers. Design: Sixty schools were randomly assigned to two groups: in 30 schools children were given weekly for 10 weeks a tablet providing 65 mg of iron and 0.25 mg of folic acid; in the other 30 schools no iron tablets were given. All children were dewormed and given vitamin A before the study began. The haemoglobin conc…
Anaemia in schoolchildren in eight countries in Africa and Asia
Objective To report on the haemoglobin concentrations and prevalence of anaemia in schoolchildren in eight countries in Africa and Asia. Design Blood samples were collected during surveys of the health of schoolchildren as a part of programmes to develop school-based health services. Setting Rural schools in Ghana, Indonesia, Kenya, Malawi, Mali, Mozambique, Tanzania and Vietnam. Subjects Nearly 14 000 children enrolled in basic education in thre…
