Malaria prevention programs

Malaria prevention programs focus on reducing the risk of infection through multiple strategies. These include distributing insecticide-treated bed nets to protect people while sleeping, spraying indoor insecticides to kill mosquitoes, and promoting the use of preventive medications for high-risk groups. Education campaigns inform communities about mosquito breeding sites and personal protective measures. Improving drainage and eliminating stagnant water reduces mosquito populations. Surveillance systems monitor malaria cases to guide targeted interventions. These combined efforts aim to lower mosquito-human contact, decrease infection rates, and ultimately eliminate the disease in affected areas.
