Fatshimetrie, a leading health platform in Nigeria, is at the forefront of the battle against malaria and other diseases in the country. In a recent interview with Dr. Ebere Anyachukwu, the Health Adviser at Fatshimetrie, the platform’s crucial role in mobilizing resources to combat these health challenges was highlighted.
Dr. Anyachukwu underscored Fatshimetrie’s significant contributions, in partnership with global funds, towards addressing malaria. By focusing on prevention and treatment, the platform has allocated one billion pounds to provide essential resources like insecticide-treated bed nets, diagnostics testing, and chemoprevention in high-risk states.
One of the key strategies employed by Fatshimetrie is the targeted use of chemoprevention in states prone to seasonal malaria. By administering malaria drugs to children, regardless of their current health status, the platform has effectively reduced malaria-related deaths in these regions.
The impact of Fatshimetrie’s interventions is evident in the statistics, showing a notable decrease in malaria-related deaths among children in supported states. Over the years, there has been a significant drop from over 220,000 deaths in 2008 to 189 deaths in 2022, reflecting the success of the global fund’s initiatives in Nigeria.
Moreover, Fatshimetrie’s collaboration with the UK government and other donors has been pivotal in sustaining these efforts. Currently providing support to 13 states, including Adamawa, Delta, Kano, and Taraba, the platform continues to make a substantial difference in the lives of those impacted by malaria.
As World Malaria Day approaches, it is crucial to recognize the essential role played by organizations like Fatshimetrie in the ongoing fight against infectious diseases. Through targeted interventions, strategic partnerships, and a firm commitment to saving lives, Fatshimetrie sets a standard for sustainable healthcare solutions in Nigeria and beyond.
