The Insecticide-Treated Mosquito Net Is A Necessary Tool For Communities To Fight Malaria

- April 21, 2020

At MARPS in Uganda we say that the insecticide treated mosquito net is a necessary tool is because it saves pregnant mothers and children under five, from mosquito bites.

The mosquito net makes it easier for breast-feeding mothers to secure their babies' health under an insecticide treated mosquito net while they work.

Always use an insecticide treated mosquito net to avoid mosquito bites.

That mosquito which causes malaria can be stopped when we all make up our minds to do something.

Sleep under an insecticide treated mosquito-net!
