Worms Can't Run. Double Your Donation to Unlimit Health
All donations to Unlimit Health will be matched up to US$100,000.
Project expansion in Malawi
Treatment campaigns have successfully reduced the global impact of parasitic worm disease, but the health burden remains huge. Bringing an end to these debilitating diseases means reaching everyone at risk and ensuring they get access to treatment and other disease-ending necessities, such as safer water. Using an affordable way to identify exactly who is at risk in every part of the country, Malawi could make sure no one missed out, and bring the end of parasitic diseases within reach.
“I was shocked to see blood in my urine every time I went to the toilet. I didn’t tell anyone, but it reached the point where I felt weak.”
Unlimit Health will support the Malawi Ministry of Health (MoH) to implement a more cost-effective and accurate method for identifying, with precision, where people are at risk of parasitic worm disease. This project will enable the targeting of treatment and other critical interventions to everyone who needs them, allowing concentration of resources where they can have the greatest impact on people’s health and bringing disease elimination closer.
How success will be measured
Through comparison with previous disease prevalence and treatment data, Unlimit Health will be able to measure and report on the extent to which previous control efforts by the MoH have achieved progress towards national and global elimination goals. This project will be successful at identifying those in need of health interventions, where increases and reductions in treatment are required and the overall disease prevalence and burden of ill-health in Malawi.

If this program initiative becomes invalid for any other reason, funding will be put towards similar disease elimination efforts through Unlimit Health with partner ministries of health in other sub-Saharan African countries endemic for schistosomiasis.
