About the SCI - Our Mission
 The Schistosomiasis Control Initiative (SCI), in
line with the World Health Organisation’s resolution that all member states
infected regions should reach 75% of all school aged children by the year
2010 for schistosomiasis and intestinal helminths, aims to encourage
treatment of schistosomiasis in sub-Saharan Africa by targeting those at high
risk of developing severe morbidity, especially school-aged children, women
and those in high risk occupations. By assisting selected countries to
achieve successful national control programmes, SCI expects to create a
demand for treatment throughout Africa. |
