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 nets will be distributed in Mulanje district where Save the Children (SC) is supporting 12 of the 23 health facilities (year 2010) in the implementation of a Community Case Management (CCM). The CCM strategy, which falls under the Integrated Management of Childhood Illnesses (IMCI) policy, is one of the high impact interventions advocated by the government of Malawi under the essential health care package for accelerated child survival and development. The Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey of 2006, indicates that Mulanje district has the lowest proportion of households owning a mosquito net (26 %) among all the other districts in the country.
