Vietnam is one of the countries in the world most affected by Soil Transmitted Helminthiasis. Large areas of the country, like the Northern uplands or the North and Central Coast, are reported as having 75- 85% of infection for Ascaris lumbricoides, 38-40% infection for Trichuris trichiura and 27-28% for hookworm infections. Periodical de-worming of schoolchildren is therefore strongly recommended. The managers of the Helminth Control Programme decided to apply a number of measures to improve cost-efficiency in order to deworm as many schoolchildren as possible with the availability of limited financial resources. This low-cost intervention targeted over 2.7 million schoolchildren. Coverage was estimated at over 95% and the cost for each treated child was 0.03 USD, which represents a saving of about 50% of costs presently reported in literature. The article describes the measures applied that resulted in cost containment but maintained high treatment coverage.
