The District Health Office in Mwansabombwe district has made strides in reducing the malaria incidence rate in the district
Mwansabombwe Town Council Director for Health Services Abraham Bupe has attributed the reduction to a number of intervention measures that have been put in place to prevent malaria cases in the district
Dr Bupe mentioned the sensitization meetings in the communities, distribution of Insecticide Treated Mosquito Nets (ITNs) and the implementation of the Indoor residual spraying exercise, among other interventions.
The Director of Health Services further mentioned that the one health approach has also contributed positively to the reduction of malaria in the district.
He said the fight against malaria cannot be won by the Department of Health alone, hence the coming on board of other stakeholders, is a positive move.
