Jigawa state governor in Mosquito net
The Jigawa State Government has launched a state-wide distribution of 3.2 million insecticide-treated bed nets and a seasonal malaria chemoprevention campaign to tackle the menace of malaria.
Highlighting the economic advantages of reducing malaria, the governor noted that decreased treatment costs and enhanced productivity were among the benefits.
Supported by health partners, the programme aims to distribute 3.2 million insecticide-treated mosquito nets and provide 6.8 million doses of antimalarial medicines.
The governor urged citizens to fully utilise the intervention and ensure effective use of the bed nets to protect against malaria.
