The Accra Metropolitan Health Directorate is set to commence a Point Mass Distribution (PMD) campaign for Long Lasting Insecticide Nets (LLINs) as part of efforts to eliminate malaria in Ghana.
In a statement signed by Dr. Louisa Ademki Matey, Metro Director for Health Service, the exercise will be carried out in two phases: household registration will take place from April 9 to April 13, 2025, followed by the distribution of nets from May 2 to May 6, 2025.
The initiative, under the supervision of the Greater Accra Regional Health Directorate, forms part of the National Malaria Elimination Programme and will involve trained healthcare workers visiting homes across the Accra Metropolis.
Community members and heads of households are encouraged to participate fully by ensuring their households are registered and nets are redeemed during the distribution period. Authorities also stressed the importance of proper usage to curb and eventually eliminate malaria.
The health directorate is calling on all stakeholders and residents in the Accra Metropolis to cooperate and support the campaign for a successful outcome.
