In the REACT 2 project, a consortium proposes to study in Burkina Faso and Côte d'Ivoire, the impact of a public health intervention in rural communities in order to improve access to malaria therapeutic and preventive arsenal for vulnerable populations (i.e. children, adolescents and pregnant women). The intervention relies on the implementation of mobile health workers to support community health workers.
