Piloting the Schistosomiasis Practical and Precision Assessment approach in five health districts of the N’zérékoré region, Republic of Guinea
The results of the SPPA indicate that schistosomiasis remains homogeneously high across all five health districts. Consequently, it is recommended to maintain annual treatment in each sub-health district, and to extend treatment to whole communities aged two years of age and over, while strengthening critical cross-sectoral interventions such as behaviour change and environmental management.
