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'.

Mombasa/Siaya, Kenya

Nets: 3,000 LLINs
When: May-Jun 06
Distributed by Red Cross

The nets will be distributed in Sega, a sub location in Ukwala Division, Siaya District of Nyanza Province.

Sega is in the lowlands with a hot wet climate. These conditions are conducive to mosquito breeding. The malaria case rate is high with over 65% of morbidity (illness) and mortality, especially in infants, due to malaria.
