INTRODUCTION Sénégal: malaria is endemic with saisonal upsurge Main targets: Population habitants Population at risk for malaria 100% Children under five : Pregnant women :

RECALL: Malaria situation in 2006 Source RBMME/PNLP/SN

Malaria situation just before introduction of RDT nationwide Proportional morbidity stationary: around 33% Despite: – Introduction LLIN – ACT – Community based intervention (BCC)

Implementation of R.A.M.P. strategy Implementation of R.A.M.P. strategy A strategy to reduce quickly mortality and morbidity (janvier 2006) – Scaling up of key interventions recommanded by WHO – Quality insurance of diagnosis and malaria treatment Introduction of RDT Microscopy strenghning Prompt and effective cases management using ACT – Data Quality insurance (RBMM&E, DQA, OSV)

PILOT STUDY in 10 heath centers 2006: feasabity study about RDT introduction in Senegal – By laboratory of parasitologie of UCAD (Gaye et al) Paracheck: HRP 2 Sensibility = 99.58% et Spécificity = 99.98% VPP = 99.93% et VPN = 99.88% Presomptif diagnosis: overestimation of malaria cases Feasability of RDT introduction in the health system Acceptability by the heathcare providers

IMPLEMENTATION MECANISM  Sharing et validating the key recommandation of this operational research  Elaboration  Training handbook  Algorithm (ordinogramme) +++  Developpement  Procurement mechanism  Management tools  Methodology of implementation: key interventions

KEYS INTERVENTIONS Training in cascade – Training of regional and district level management team – Training of health care providers at the district level procurement: – Initial Endowment of RDT kits – Three-party management PNA, NCMP and districts Communication: – increased awarness ofsensibilisation prestataires et populations Monitoring and evaluation – Regular data collecting about the use of RDT – Regular monitoring of morbidity data – Regular supervision of health care providers Quality insurance: – Quality control provid by l’UCAD (with find foundation)

SCALING UP OF RDT 2007: introduction RDT 2007: introduction RDT - Training health care providers: agents trained -Implementation in 65 districts (centers and health postes ) 2008: 2008: -Introduction in hospitals, military garrison: training of 761 agents -Retraining of agents

INTRODUCTION OF RDT AT THE COMMUNITY LEVEL

THE RDT IN HEATH HUTS 2009: 2009: introduction of RDT in health huts – Training of CHW – Introduction of RDT in 94% of health huts (1611/1703)

RDT at home : : implementation of PECADOM (homebased case management) – ACT & RDT in villages of enclosed territory /far away – Training of community health providers (DsDom)

RESULTS (end 2010) Total consultations (fever cases) TDR made Negatif RDT Positif RDT Invalid RDT Malaria cases treated & cured SIDE EFFECTS DEATHS

REFERENCE TO THE UPPER LEVEL (HEALTH HUTS) Situation des Cas Référés Negative RDT Children undeer 2 months Pregnant women Severe malaria Total Refered cases TOTAL

OPERATIONALS COSTS 3 main activities are concerned Training of health care providers – Average cost training of one healthcare provider : FCFA / 62 euros (round 7 GFATM) Supervision – Average cost supervision of one healthcare provider : FCFA / 42 euros Cost of the Pilot study: euros

RESULTS OF IMPLEMENTATION OF RDTS IN SENEGAL

Evolution of malaria morbidy by month: comparison between 2006 & 2007 L’introduction des TDR dans notre système de santé a notablement amélioré le diagnostic et par voie de conséquence la qualité des données reportées.

CONCLUSION « The experience demonstrate that, when partners work together, and when strategies to fight against malaria (such as LLIN, ACTs, IRS, RDTs) are used in a compréhensive manner and scaled – up, an extrordinary success can be achieved » Professeur Awa-Marie Coll-Seck, Directeur Exécutif du Partenariat Faire Reculer le Paludisme, le 8 Février 2008
