A community screening in Metropolitana Nord reveals a high prevalence of schistosomiasis

In a community screening study conducted in Metropolitana Nord Area, ScienHub Research Support team has played a crucial role supporting the on-site implementation coordination, providing support with the study documentation and authorities submission, and conducting the study monitoring visits. The results indicate that schistosomiasis is a common and underdiagnosed infection in the exposed population, with serious complications affecting the quality of life of those infected.

These findings underscores the need for healthcare policies to incorporate screening for this infection to enable early diagnosis and treatment, which could prevent complications and improve the quality of life for those affected.
