The investigators' previous MORDOR I research demonstrated a significant reduction in all-cause child mortality after biannual mass azithromycin distribution. In three sub-Saharan Africa countries, (including Niger, Tanzania, and Malawi) mass azithromycin treatment over 2 years resulted in a 14%
1. BACKGROUND In 2002, the Philippines changed its antimalarial drug policy to the combination treatment, CQ+ Sulphadoxine-pyrimethamine (SP) as 1st-line treatment and artemether-lumefantrine as 2nd-line treatment. The Department of Health (DOH) prescribed the use of artemether-lumefantrine (AL)
Iron deficiency anemia (IDA) is prevalent in infants and preschool children in sub-Saharan Africa. Several studies have been conducted to mitigate IDA. Some of these studies had adverse effects on the gut microbiome and diarrhea due to the high iron dose administered in areas of high burden of
Iron deficiency, the principal cause of anemia globally, affects more than two billion individuals, predominantly infants, children and women of childbearing age. Iron deficiency impairs cognitive and behavioral development in childhood, compromises immune responsiveness, decreases physical
Background: Pneumonia is one of the main causes of morbidity and mortality in the world, especially in developing countries like ours. Of an estimated 8.795 million deaths in children under 5 in the world in 2008, 68% were infectious causes, with the highest percentage due to pneumonia in 18%,
Child mortality in West Africa is among the highest in the world. Although child health and mortality are improving worldwide, children in the Sahel and sub-Sahel regions of West Africa have the greatest risks of mortality. Burkina Faso's current under-5 mortality rate is estimated 110 per 1,000

Although child health and mortality are improving worldwide, children in the Sahel and sub-Sahel regions of West Africa have the greatest risks of mortality.Burkina Faso's current under-5 mortality rate is estimated 110 per 1,000 live births. Similar to other countries in the region, the major
Consensual antibiotic protocols have been developed and validated locally by infectious disease specialists, internists and emergency physicians, in order to encourage their compliance. A preliminary study was conducted from June 2015 (setting up protocols) to February 2016, including 622 patients
Hazardous drinking (HD) is a major public health burden worldwide with significant morbidity and mortality. The prevention and treatment gap associated with this global burden requires that efficacious interventions be scaled-up, leveraging existing platforms and participation of policy makers ready
Severe pneumonia is a serious infection in children which requires timely intervention. Management of severe pneumonia is done by appropriate antibiotics and supportive care. WHO recommendation is to use injection ampicillin four times a day for 3-5 days and injection gentamicin once a day for 3-5
The forms of iron currently available have serious adverse effects that limit their use in addressing prevalent iron deficiency. Iron-supplementation programs have been frustrated by the serious side effects of inorganic forms of iron, which, due to low enteric absorptive efficiency, must be given
Zinc is a nutritionally essential trace element found in previous studies to reduce growth retardation and improve immune function, which may also result in decreased incidence of infectious diseases including malaria, pneumonia and diarrhea. SCD patients are known to be susceptible to zinc
