MALAWI: Mosquito net prices slashed in anti-malaria campaign

While Malawi celebrates the onset of much needed rain, the government and a group of NGOs have started their assault against malaria by dramatically slashing the price of insecticide-treated mosquito nets. About eight million Malawians suffer from malaria every year, and up to 5,000 people die of the preventable disease which is spread by mosquitoes mainly during the rainy season.
