Long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs)

Long-Lasting Insecticidal Nets (LLINs) are specially designed bed nets that protect against mosquitoes, which transmit diseases like malaria. Unlike regular nets, LLINs are treated with insecticides that remain effective for several years, even after washing. These nets create a barrier between people and mosquitoes, significantly reducing the risk of insect bites while sleeping. LLINs are an important public health tool, particularly in regions where mosquito-borne illnesses are prevalent, and they help to lower infection rates and save lives. Proper use and distribution of LLINs are essential for their effectiveness in disease control.
