The Ministry of Health has launched a three-month Sh8 billion campaign to distribute over 15.7 million bed nets in the highest malaria burden counties.
The insecticide-treated mosquito nets will be distributed in 27 high burden counties targeting 25 million beneficiaries. The pilot project is being implemented in Kirinyaga County.
Speaking during World Malaria Day, Health Chief Administrative Secretary Health Rashid Aman said the exercise is part of a strategy for counties to eliminate malaria disease by 2030.
Additionally, Dr Aman revealed that a team of medical experts from Cuba and Kenya will be conducting a nationwide exercise to map out key breeding sites for spraying.
