PDMCC Implement

Implementing Post-discharge Malaria Chemoprevention (PDMC) to reduce child mortality and morbidity among children with severe anaemia

We will use an innovative two-stage formative research approach to prospectively study the full- scale implementation of PDMC in Malawi. This interdisciplinary study will incorporate both provider and patient perspectives of the implementation at all levels of the care-continuum. PDMC is safe and efficacious, but with less convincing results regarding adherence. We shall study alternative approaches to implement PDMC exploring their costs, feasibility, acceptability, and breadth of coverage and uptake. This proposal combines observational and experimental approaches to maximize the potential impact and value.
