A total of 2,897,443 insecticide-treated mosquito nets will be distributed to households across Osun State as part of the efforts to tackle malaria.
The mass campaign led by the Osun State Government is being executed in collaboration with the National Malaria Elimination Programme, Catholic Relief Services, Society for Family Health, and other malaria partners, with funding support from the Global Fund Malaria.
Speaking with journalists in Osogbo, the Logistics Advisor for the campaign, Simeon Ibvori, said the new nets would be given out to replace the ones distributed in 2023.
Ibvori, who spoke with journalists on Tuesday, said the insecticide-treated nets were being transported to the distribution hubs after they were moved from the state warehouse to the local government distribution stores across the state.
He added that the distribution will target rural wards where the risk of malaria remains very high.
