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 Teso Safe Motherhood Project (TSMP) operates a health clinic in Soroti, Uganda at Plot 8, Ongodia Road (latitude: 1.71 N, longitude 33.60 E). The clinic once exclusively served the internally displaced persons (IDPs) living in camps in and around Soroti (five camps). Now the Ugandan government has declared the Teso Region where Soroti is located to be “IDP free,” creating a somewhat tricky situation for NGOs that still serve the IDPs. There are still thousands of people living in the camps, more and more they are orphaned children left behind. As well, many IDPs have relocated into slum developments that are continuing to grow around Soroti.
