Regions One, Seven, Eight and Nine and malaria is considered a serious threat since it may cause severe illness and if untreated, even death.
To combat this, the Ministry of Health has developed several plans to protect people from malaria. One such plan is the distribution of some 95,000 long-lasting insecticide-treated nets in Regions One, Seven, Eight and Nine.
Hammocks with nets will also be distributed specifically to mining camps where individuals are particularly vulnerable to malaria.
