IMA’s Impact in Tanzania
14 millionTREATMENTS FOR NTDs DISTRIBUTED IN TANZANIA ANNUALLY
IMA collaborates with the Ministry of Health and Social Welfare
(MOHSW) to eliminate and control five NTDs endemic in Tanzania,
including onchocerciasis (River Blindness), lymphatic filariasis (LF),
schistosomiasis, soil-transmitted helminthes (STH), and trachoma.
IMA
coordinates mass drug administration (MDA) in 80 districts across
thirteen regions throughout Tanzania, distributing over 38 million
treatments to over 15 million individuals annually and training more
than 45,000 community drug distributors (frontline health workers and
teachers who provide treatment).
Working toward WHO global control and elimination goals, IMA has
carried out pre-transmission assessment surveys (TAS) and TAS in several
districts to determine if MDA can stop. Preliminary results show
disease transmission has been interrupted in most districts that have
undergone the survey.
IMA has also developed a roadmap for trachoma
elimination, and covered gaps in trachoma mapping and impact surveys.
