Malaria

Prevention

In countries where malaria is endemic, prevention is an important component of malaria control. Prevention is carried out through:
• Personal protection measures such as insecticide treated bed nets
• Prophylactic use of antimalarial  drugs for vulnerable groups

For malaria prevention, IDA offers:
• A full range of WHOPES approved bed nets, in different sizes and
  colors
• WHO recommended prophylactic antimalaria medicines, including Sulfadoxine-pyrimethemine (SP)
  for pregnant women in countries where the risk of malaria infection is high.
