  • PMI Supports Indoor Residual Spraying (IRS) of Homes to Prevent Malaria in Africa
    PMI has supported IRS activities in all 15 focus countries. PMI activities include assessing the environment to ensure safe and effective use of insecticides, educating residents about the benefits of IRS, training local personnel to conduct spray operations, procuring insecticide and equipment, and monitoring and evaluating spray activities.

  • PMI Supports Use of Insecticide-treated Nets to Prevent Malaria
    In Africa, malaria is transmitted by mosquitoes that bite predominantly at night. Therefore, sleeping under an insecticide-treated net (ITN) can greatly reduce the risk of infection because ITNs repel mosquitoes and kill those that land on them. Increasing ownership and use of ITNs is a key component of PMI's prevention strategy.
