Implement measures to reduce mosquito populations, such as indoor residual spraying with insecticides and environmental management to eliminate breeding sites.
Bed Nets
Distribute insecticide-treated bed nets to at-risk populations, such as pregnant women and children under five, to provide protection while sleeping.
Preventive Medication
Administer antimalarial drugs, such as chemoprophylaxis, to individuals at high risk of malaria transmission, such as travelers to endemic areas or pregnant women in malaria-endemic regions.
Community Education
Conduct community-based education and awareness campaigns to promote knowledge of malaria transmission, symptoms, and prevention measures, empowering individuals to take proactive steps to protect themselves and their families.
Intermittent Preventive Treatment in Pregnancy
Provide pregnant women in malaria-endemic areas with intermittent preventive treatment doses of antimalarial drugs during routine prenatal care visits to prevent maternal malaria and its adverse effects on pregnancy outcomes.
Environmental Management
Implement environmental modifications, such as drainage, vegetation management, and water management, to reduce mosquito breeding habitats and minimize human-mosquito contact.
Integrated Approaches
Adopt integrated approaches that combine multiple malaria prevention interventions, such as insecticide-treated bed nets, indoor residual spraying, and larval source management, to maximize effectiveness and sustainability.
