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

The poor, urban area of Kigali will receive 800 LLINs. These areas were selected because of the high endemicity of malaria, high poverty, high HIV prevalence and high anaemia. Bednet ownership is less than 20% in these areas. Morbidity and mortality due to malaria are high. 40% of consultations in the health centres are reported to be for malaria treatment.

The nets will be distributed to all Home Based Care (HBC) beneficiaries under the Red Cross project plus under 5 children and pregnant mothers in the designated areas during routine home visits. The distribution will be integrated with other current services that are being provided to the communities in the designated areas. The volunteers will unsure that the nets are hung and that they are used by the targeted population.
