Abstract

A high IPI burden, including significant polyparasitism, exists among the schoolchildren in the study area. The findings underscore the urgent need for integrated deworming programs, improved sanitation, and targeted health education to reduce morbidity in this vulnerable population, directly contributing to SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-being) by addressing preventable diseases and promoting health, and SDG 4 (Quality Education) by improving the health and educational outcomes of schoolchildren.
