Malaria is preventable with low-cost medications. Still, many people in the most vulnerable communities lack easy access to antimalarial medicine. Malaria Consortium’s SMC seasonal malaria chemoprevention (SMC) program helps governments deliver preventive antimalarial drugs to children under five during the peak malaria transmission season. Analysis of rigorous studies has found that SMC can reduce malaria cases by up to 75%, thereby reducing malaria deaths.
