The Bono Regional Health Promotion Officer, Nana Amma Gyankoma has urged the general public to take advantage of the mosquito net distributed by the Ghana Health Service.

In an interview with Soiree News, the health promotion officer said Ghana Health Service and its partners are poised to distribute the free long-lasting insecticides treated nets in all communities.

The Distribution which started July 27 and will end August 2, 2021, according to her forms part of the government’s effort to curtail the increasing rate of malaria cases and deaths especially amongst children.

She said the requirements for picking the net at any of the designed distribution points are the National ID card, the name of the household head, contact number used for the registration and the code generated after registration.

Meanwhile, the Bono Regional Deputy Director in charge of Public Health Dr Prince Quarshie has called on the general public not to take measures that will protect them from covid-19 alone but malaria as well.

Speaking with SoireeNews, Dr Prince Quarshie said the rate at which they are recording malaria cases is alarming hence the need for the instruction.
