She noted that the organization has strategized the malaria campaign with the micro planning, macro planning, implementation and post implementation towards ensuring successful distribution of the insecticide nets ITNs to households in local governments across the state.

The Demand Creation Work stream Advisor for Society for Family Health, Daniel Gbue in his lecture, maintained that preventing malaria by using insecticide treated nets ITNs is cheaper than getting malaria treatment after infection.
