integration of the country's malaria control program between the health
department and different partners and to increase the coverage of Intermittent
Preventive Treatment for pregnant women (IPTp)," Nazira Abdula Cheap Adidas NMD XR1 Camo Pack Men's Olive , minister of health for Mozambique, said during a launch ceremony of the five-year project in Maputo.

actions.
The TIPTOP project will equip local community members, traditional birth attendants, community health workers and volunteers with doses of
sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine (SP) to be administered at community level.
Unitaid said this project accelerates access to innovative health products for those who need them most.
"We are excited to see Mozambique launch the TIPTOP project that will provide pregnant women with a life-saving medicine to protect them and their infants
from malaria," said Lelio Marmora Adidas Ultra Boost 4.0 Tan White Cheap , executive director of Unitaid.
