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'.

Majunga I is a rural area with a population of 52,000 in an endemic region with seasonal malaria transmission. The malaria case level in pregnant women and children under 1 is particularly high in this area (46.5% vs the national level of 19%).

The objective of the campaign is to cover at least 60% of pregnant women and under 1's.

The nets will be distributed in health centres during 'Mother and Child Health Week'. The health personnel will give free LLINs to pregnant women coming for an antenatal visit and to children under 1 coming for immunization.
