The Long Lasting Insecticide Net (LLIN)

A Long Lasting Insecticide Net (LLIN) is a specialized bed net designed to protect people from mosquito bites and reduce malaria transmission. Made from durable fabric, it is coated with insecticide that remains effective for several years, even after multiple washes. The net creates a physical barrier preventing mosquitoes from reaching sleeping individuals, while the insecticide kills or repels mosquitoes that contact it. LLINs are a cost-effective, safe, and essential tool in malaria prevention strategies, especially in regions where the disease is endemic. Their durability and effectiveness help save lives by reducing illness and death caused by malaria.
