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

Malaria is the top killer disease in Uganda. It accounts for 15.4% of the national death burden.

Distributions will be to these remote and under-served communities:
1. Kampala East and South. These are slum areas where service coverage is extremely low. The people are so poor that malaria prevention is the least of their priorities.
2. Luwero, Arua, Kitgum, Apac, Pader and Katakwi districts are rural villages with camps. There is inadequate or no basic services to ensure decent life.

The distribution will be to children under 5 years, pregnant women and people living with HIV/AIDS who have reduced immunity to malaria attack.

The home care facilitators of the Red Cross will do the distribution through routine Community Home Based Care (CHBC) services.
