Malaria Initiative

The Malaria Initiative is a global effort to prevent and control malaria, a disease caused by parasites transmitted through mosquito bites. It involves distributing insecticide-treated bed nets, spraying homes with insecticides, providing effective medicines, and educating communities about prevention. The goal is to reduce illness and deaths caused by malaria, especially in regions where it is most common. By strengthening healthcare systems and fostering international collaboration, the initiative works to lower malaria transmission and eventually eliminate the disease in targeted areas.
