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'.

1,000 long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) will be distributed in Rushooka village in the Mbarara region of Uganda where malaria is endemic.
