In Togo, malaria is highly endemic in throughout the country, and is the leading cause of death in children under five with an estimated 1.89 million malaria cases and 3,600 deaths in 2020. Despite the treatment for malaria being relatively low-cost, critical gaps to access and quality of community health systems throughout the country prove challenging to implement effective interventions. Malaria Consortium Togo work closely with the Ministry of Health in addressing this through our seasonal malaria chemoprevention (SMC) programme.
