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'.

The distribution will be the responsibility of and coordinated by Rotarian groups in PNG working in collaboration with the PNG Dept of Health.
