LLINs

What is a Long-Lasting Insecticidal Net (LLIN)?

An LLIN is a mosquito net impregnated with insecticide.

The insecticide is cleverly bound within the fibres that make up the netting and is 'slow released' over a 4-5 year period. Hence 'long lasting'.

Malaria is endemic in The Gambia and the rainy season is the worst time when incidence is high.

Nets will be distributed to children under 5, pregnant women, people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) and diffentially abled people living in the town of Jan Jan Bureh on MacCarthy Island.

The nets will be distributed over a period of 4-6 weeks via the Jan Jan Bureh dispensary.

This distribution is part of a 7,000 LLIN distribution in Jan Jan Bureh, Kunting village and Karantaba, all of which are closely located in Sami District.
