Bafut, Cameroon

When: Oct-Dec 07

Nets: 10,000 LLINs

Distributed by PSI

Population Services International (PSI) is a not-for-profit organization which has been delivering products and services to improve health and save lives in the fields of malaria and other public health priority areas since the 1970's. Today, PSI is supporting Ministries of Health in 70 countries across the world.

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 PSI

All children under 5 in the 9 health areas of Bafut health district will be protected as a result of this distribution. In total, 60 multicultural communities will benefit.

The nine health districts are: Akofunguba, Buwe-Bukari, Mambu, Manji, Mankanikong, Mbakong, Mforya, Mundum and Nsem.

The Bafut area, 20kms northeast of the provincial capital of Bamenda, is a high risk malaria area with year-round transmission. A recent study reported a malaria morbidity (illness) rate amongst under 5's of 54%.

The extreme poverty of the people in the area means they cannot afford nets, even if they were available at subsidized rates.

The under 5's will be the focus of this distribution as they are the most at-risk group due to low immunity.
