The Cost of Antibiotic Mass Drug Administration for Trachoma Control in a Remote Area of South Sudan
BACKGROUND Mass drug administration (MDA) of antibiotics is a key component of the so-called "SAFE" strategy for trachoma control, while MDA of anthelminthics provides the cornerstone for control of a number of other neglected tropical diseases (NTDs). Simultaneous delivery of two or more of these drugs, renowned as "integrated NTD control," is being promoted to reduce costs and expand interven...
Disease prevalence mapping allows countries to identify infected individuals and populations in need of diseasecontrol measures, such as mass drug administration (MDA) with preventive chemotherapy. For countries with unlimited time and resources, diseasespecific prevalence mapping may be carried out in a slow, careful manner, by large teams of diagnostic technicians, supervisors, and drivers. T...
Schistosomiasis, one of the 17 neglected tropical diseases listed by the World Health Organization, presents a substantial public health and economic burden. Of the 261 million people requiring preventive chemotherapy for schistosomiasis in 2013, 92% of them lived in sub-Saharan Africa and only 12.7% received preventive chemotherapy. Moreover, in 2010, the WHO reported that schistosomiasis mort...
Locally tailored interventions for neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) are becoming increasingly important ensuring that the World Health Organization (WHO) goals control and elimination reached. Mathematical models, such as those developed by NTD Modelling Consortium, able to offer recommendations on but remain constrained data currently available. Data collection NTDs needs be strengthened bet...
Eastern Africa, which comprises Eritrea, Ethiopia, Kenya, South Sudan, Sudan, Tanzania and Uganda, has the highest burden of trachoma in the world. In sub-Saharan Africa, there are 1,274 districts known to be endemic for trachoma (i.e., the incidence of trachomatous inflammation – follicular (TF) is > 5%). Of these, 769 are found within the seven Eastern African countries, which represents over...
C urrently in sub-Saharan Africa, most patients with surgical problems that are routinely treatable in high-income countries never reach a health facility, or are treated at a facility with inadequate human or physical resources. These conditions lead to premature death or physical disability with a significant economic burden. Meanwhile, the last decade has seen the emergence of numerous " neg...
