The END Fund | House to house in search of schistosomiasis

In order to end a disease, you need to know where it is. In Ethiopia, the Federal Ministry of Health has partnered with the SCI Foundation and the END Fund, to map the prevalence of schistosomiasis.This survey was a small sample, so that the Federal Ministry of Health can calibrate its national survey. After five years of mass drug administration in schools, this new mapping survey will help design the next intervention that will hopefully end this disease in Ethiopia.
