Pre-distribution information
Senegal is particularly badly affected by malaria. A 2006 malaria survey indicated 37% of children under 5 had had an episode of fever or convulsions, clinical indicators for a case of malaria.
A two million net nationwide distribution campaign will take place in June 2009 to achieve protection of all children under 5 and pregnant women, those most vulnerable to malaria.
As part of that campaign 40,000 nets will be distributed in five areas in the Fatick region (Dioffior 11,000 nets; Foundiougne 7,600 nets and Guinguineo 11,200 nets) and the Thies region (Popenguine 7,200 nets and Joal Fadiouth 3,000 nets) where malaria is endemic and seasonal.
Red Cross teams will carry out the distribution of the 40,000 nets.
