Since the early 1990s, keeping families healthy and free from malaria and HIV.
- From 2011 to 2020, more than 535,000 cases of malaria were confirmed by testing and then treated using artemisinin-based combination therapy, as recommended by the World Health Organization.
- From 2012 to 2020, more than 266,000 pregnant women received intermittent preventive treatment (IPT) for malaria under direct observation, with rates of IPT in pregnancy increasing from 37% in 2012 to 89% in 2020 for first dose, and 28% to 75% for second dose. In 2018, Jhpiego began tracking third and fourth IPT doses, as integrated into the Chadian national policies; rates improved from 26% at baseline to 36% for third dose, and from 7.5% to 17% for fourth dose.
- In project-targeted district hospitals, the percentage of deaths due to malaria decreased from 61% (in six district hospitals) in 2013 to 49% (in 11 district hospitals) in 2020.
- Under a project conducted with the Chadian army, 1,108 clients (both military and civilian) were on antiretroviral therapy as of December 2020. In addition, from October to December 2020, 2,006 people were reached through educational outreach, of which 1,734 (84%) were tested for HIV.
