Treated bed nets

Recent research has been carried out to examine the effectiveness of insecticide treated bed nets. Here in Tanzania, malaria is the main cause of illness and death. Over 93% of the population is at risk of contracting the disease. Research findings showed that the use of treated bed nets reduced child deaths by 20% and reduced illness from malaria by 50%. Please make sure your bed nets are ready!
