An intensive hands-on workshop for clinicians and health workers on the proper administration, dosing protocols, and monitoring of praziquantel treatment for schistosomiasis patients in endemic zones of the DRC.
This workshop brings together medical practitioners, nurses, and community health workers active in schistosomiasis-endemic regions of the Democratic Republic of Congo. Participants will gain practical skills in patient assessment, praziquantel dosing by weight, side-effect management, and follow-up protocols.
Sessions will cover pediatric dosing, pregnant women considerations, and mass drug administration (MDA) logistics. Case studies from Kivu, Maniema, and Katanga provinces will be discussed.
