The government of Liberia on Wednesday launched a massive anti-malaria campaign, aimed at distributing two million mosquito nets across the country to help Liberian parents protect their children from the deadly scourge (curse) of malaria. The World Health Organization, Plan International and other partners have for generations been donating to the country tens, even hundreds of thousands of treated mosquito nets. We urge the Health Ministry, especially Minister Jallah and her team assigned to the distribution, to engage the media, especially the radio stations, in getting the message across to the public. Parents should be told where to go to collect the mosquito nets. The Ministry and Plan International should also ensure that these mosquito nets are evenly distributed throughout the country, and there should be NO SELLING of these nets.
