Bauchi State Agency for the Control of HIV/AIDS, Malaria, Leprosy and Tuberculosis (BACATMA), says it has targeted 1.5 million children for the 2021 Seasonal Malaria Chemoprevention (SMC) campaign.
Mr Umar Babuga, Director, Malaria Control in the agency, stated this in an interview on Thursday in Bauchi.
The Association of Civil Society in Malaria Control, Immunization and Nutrition (ACOMIN) has attributed the major issues affecting the fight against reducing the prevalence of malaria in Katsina State to poor healthcare facilities and lack of adequate medical personnel in local communities..
The State Coordinator, Shola Babadiya, disclosed this while briefing journalists on the success recorded so far in their advocacy and awareness campaign geared towards reducing mortality rate and preventing malaria transmission among families in Katsina rural areas.
“Thirty to 40 per cent of the healthcare facilities visited are dilapidated and understaffed,” he said, urging the government to improve facilities and employ more medical personnel.
