TECHNICAL support has been provided to the Gombe State Malaria Elimination Program through the training of 228 Wards Supervisors across the 11 local government areas in the state in order to have a successful distribution of the Long Lasting Insecticidal Nets (LLIN) by the Catholic Relief Services in collaboration with the National Malaria Elimination Program.

The Demand Creation Advisor, for Gombe LLIN campaign team, Mrs Adaeze Aidenagbon disclosed this in an interview with Journalists in Gombe last weekend. 

She added that the distribution of the free mosquito nets to beneficiaries will be done in 868 distribution points across the 11 local government areas of the state and said that one of the objectives of the campaign is to ensure that for every 2 persons in Gombe State, there is one-bed net to sleep inside.

The Demand Creation Advisor also confirmed that over two million Long Lasting Insecticidal Nets would be distributed across the state with the use of ICT just as she appreciated the state Government and people of Gombe for creating an enabling environment for this activity. 

Adaeze Aidenagbon also said that the exercise can only succeed with collaborative effort and support from all stakeholders and appreciated the State Malaria Elimination Programme office, the State Primary Health Care Development Agency and the National Malaria Elimination Programme.

She then solicited support from the Media to promote the campaign through sustained sensitisation of the general public and promotion of a net-use culture among the beneficiaries.
