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'.

Pre-distribution information

Mansa is a rural, high risk malaria area. With a staggering 516 cases of malaria per 1,000 people, it has the highest malaria case level in Luapula province.

Nets will be distributed to Home Based Care HIV/AIDS clients during planned home visits. This method of distribution also helps eliminate distribution costs.
