The Plateau State Government has officially flagged off the 2026 Seasonal Malaria Chemoprevention (SMC) campaign as part of efforts to protect children from malaria and further reduce the disease burden across the state.

The campaign is aimed at providing life-saving preventive malaria medication to eligible children during the peak malaria transmission season.
