Distributed by Malaria Consortium

The Malaria Consortium is one of the few not-for-profit organisations dedicated to combating malaria. More than 90% of our resources are based in Africa. We support Ministries of Health and partners in over twenty African and Asian countries through offices in Uganda, Mozambique, Sudan, Zambia and Ethiopia.

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'.

Distributed by  Malaria Consortium    Malaria Consortium

The nets will be distributed to pregnant women and children under 5 in the Soba Aradi and Soba Silik Internally Displaced People's camps in Khartoum state.

The Soba Aradi IDP camp was chosen because the camp is in an irrigation area where malaria is focused and because there is low mosquito net coverage here.

A house to house campaign will be carried out coordinated by the Malaria Consortium and the State Malaria Control Programme (SMCP).
