Trust in government health programs.

MALARIA, WORMS
Some parents also explained that their acceptance of the combined drugs was based on their trust and confidence in the health programs sponsored by the government. For them, the government would not implement any programs that could endanger the lives of their children. They considered that decisions taken by government health authorities were safe and reliable, so they would not hesitate to accept them.You know, the government and the population is like the father of a family and his children. A father never endangers his own children, he protects them. So, I believe that if the government gives drugs to the population, it is for their good. The government cannot move health workers and investigators from Dakar to Kédougou to give the wrong drugs to the population. In addition, each year, the government gives us treated mosquito bednets to fight against malaria, so if they give us this medicine, I think it is to reinforce the prevention measures. If it was another project different from the government project, I would be afraid and worried about the things they give to our children, but as it is the government which is at the origin of this project so that our children can be prevented from malaria and worms, so I will make sure to reciprocate their kind gesture.
