Description
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.
