mass treatment campaign


Explanation:
I'm assuming this is people going round giving curative treatment (ie administering drugs) rather than preventive action (wiping out the snails that cause it). It's better known as bilharzia, but you probably know that.

agree  Atelier de Mots: I find the term "mass treatment" a bit awkward, but it is used by WHO and surely seems appropriate here.

Reference: rounds of mass treatment

Reference information:
From the Schistosomiasis Wiki:

The World Health Organization has developed guidelines for community treatment of schistosomiasis based on the impact the disease has on children in endemic villages:
• When a village reports more than 50 percent of children have blood in their urine, everyone in the village receives treatment.
• When 20 to 50 percent of children have bloody urine, only school-age children are treated.
• When less than 20 percent of children have symptoms, mass treatment is not implemented.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schistosomiasis#Treatment


Also, just two of many references:

[...] This cross-sectional study used the Lot Quality Assurance Sampling (LQAS) technique to map the prevalence of Schistosoma mansoni among school children in four different regions in Uganda, before and after several rounds of mass treatment in 2003 and 2006 respectively.
http://www.health-policy-systems.com/content/9/1/3

[...] During this interval, several rounds of mass treatment have already been conducted to bring down the prevalence of schistosomiasis to its level of 1.8% in 2008.
