1. OVERVIEW

   Malaria kills over 400,000 people annually, mostly children under 5 in sub-Saharan Africa. Seasonal malaria chemoprevention is preventive medicine that saves children’s lives. It is given during the four months of the year when malaria infection rates are especially high.

2. COST-EFFECTIVENESS

   About $7 to protect a child from malaria. We estimate that $3,000 – $5,000 will save a life.

3. EVIDENCE OF IMPACT

   Exceptionally strong. Many high-quality studies of seasonal malaria chemoprevention have consistently found a strong impact. The organization we recommend conducts high-quality ongoing monitoring.
