1 Working Together to Maximise Health Impact of New Anti-Malarials Lessons Learned from Scale Up of Malaria Control in Zambia Dr Naawa Sipalanyambe Zambia National Malaria Control Programme Presentation for MMV 1st Access Symposium Livingstone, Zambia 6th May 2006

2 Problem of Malaria in Zambia Malaria: a major public health problem. 36.2% of total diagnosis 33,000 deaths /year 383.1/1000 cases Past - notifiable disease. Malaria: linked to MDGs and a key Highly Indebted Poor Countries (HIPC) trigger. A disease of poverty Minus 1% of national GDP Impact on infant and maternal mortality rates 40% - IMR (95/1000) Possibly 20% -MMR(729/100000)

3 Why the Changing Patterns? Economic conditions? Vector control activities? HIV/AIDS? Quality of care? Chloroquine and SP resistance?

4 Ministry of Health A 5-year Strategic Plan A Road Map for Impact on Malaria in Zambia Rapid Scale up of Malaria Control Interventions for Impact in Zambia

5 Targets and Goals National Strategic Plan Reduction of malaria incidence by 75% and deaths due to malaria will be significantly reduced by the end of 2011 Reduction of all cause mortality by 20% in children under five Abuja Targets 60% 80% At least 80% of those suffering from malaria should be able to access and use correct, affordable and appropriate treatment within 24 hours of onset of symptoms. At least 80% of those at risk of malaria, particularly pregnant women and children under 5 years of age, should benefit from suitable personal and community protective measures such as ITNs. At least 80% of all pregnant women who are at risk of malaria, especially those in their first pregnancies should receive IPT

6 Integrated Package of Core Interventions 1. Reduction of disease burden Insecticide Treated Nets Indoor Residual Spraying Intermittent Preventative Treatment 2. Care of the sick Case Management Laboratory Diagnosis 3. Management programme and system support functions.

7 Strategic Decision 1 Scale up for impact Impact assessment Achieve a coverage of at least 3 ITNs per household for 80% of all eligible households. With the above coverage, achieve the following utilization rates: Children under five sleeping under ITNs 80% Pregnant women sleeping under ITNs 80% Specific economically vulnerable groups particularly in rural hard to reach areas-80%.

8 Strategic Decision 2 Scale up for impact Impact assessment Achieve a coverage of at 85% of the target population sleeping in sprayed structures by Adherence to strict eligibility criteria. Weaning off the use of DDT for IRS in accordance with the Stockholm Convention. Multisectorial involvement for IRS

9 Strategic Decision 3 Scale up for impact Impact assessment At least 80% of women have access to the package of interventions (3-doses of IPT, ITN, and anaemia reduction) to reduce the burden of malaria in pregnancy by 2008 Partnership and reliance on Reproductive Health to provide an integrated package.

10 Strategic Decision 4 Scale up for impact Impact assessment At least 80% of suspected malaria patients are correctly diagnosed by Reduction in the misdiagnosis of malaria. Improvement in monitoring of true cases» Challenge of IMCI strategy and HIV/AIDs

11 Strategic Decision 5 Scale up for impact Impact assessment At least 80% of malaria patients in all districts are receiving prompt & effective case management according to the current drug policy within 24hrs of onset of symptoms by Strengthen community IMCI and private sector involvement in case management

12 Supportive systems Strong emphasis on the development and strengthening of systems: Programme planning and management support Human resources Financial management systems Procurement and supply chain management

13 Information to inform decisions Studies during inform decisions Disease patterns Drug efficacy and use patterns ITN coverage and use IRS coverage IPT coverage Implementation of new drug policy

14 Reported HMIS malaria Reported cases malaria per 1000 cases population reported malaria cases per Central Copperbelt Eastern Luapula Lusaka North Western Northern Southern Western National by quarter

15 Parasite prevalence From baseline (season?) and follow up (Aug-Sept) surveys in 10 sentinel districts Children 2-9 years Using RDTs % positive Chibombo Chingola Chipata Chongwe Isoka Kalomo Kaputa Mwinilunga Samfya Senanga baseline follow up

22 Malaria Trends, Choma District, Zambia Deaths Cases Deaths/Cases Years Source : Thuma et al

23 Basis for confidence Political commitment Technically sound package of core interventions. Strong Implementing Partners High ANC participation; Child Health Ability to fit into the MTEF Framework and district readiness to implement. Global commitment and substantial financial resources Impact being tracked

24 Critical Challenges Procurement and supply chain management and logistics Donor and partner harmonization-- multiple processes, multiple models, potential duplicative efforts huge transaction costs Health Systems vs. Scale up for Impact Ambitious programme in a weak system

25 As you think about ACCESS Everything about a new drug will be interesting, but,.. Not everything will have the same importance for us in our programmes Case management is the hardest part of our strategy It is best done in the context of high coverage with preventive interventions (ITNs, IRS, IPT, etc) It is not just about the name of the drug We welcome MMV and your considerations via ACCESS.
