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  Red Cross    Red Cross

Six areas in the three districts of Bushenyi, Luwero and Ntungamo will be the recipients of these nets in a combined 4,500 net distribution. All are high-risk malaria areas with endemic malaria and seasonal epidemic outbreaks.

Kyamuhunga and Kikwamba will be the targeted areas in Bushenyi.

Pregnant women, under 5's and people living with HIV/Aids (PLWHA) will be the recipients. These are the groups most vulnerable to malaria attack.

The nets will be distributed by Uganda Red Cross community volunteers alongside ongoing URCS malaria control and HIV/home based care activities.

Malaria education and net use training will be an integral part of the distribution.
