Pregnant women implored to sleep under treated mosquito nets

Dr Keziah Malm, Programmes Manager for National Malaria Control has called on Ghanaians especially pregnant women to sleep under treated mosquito nets to avoid malaria.

Dr Keziah mentioned that since there is medicine to cure malaria most Ghanaians are not paying critical attention to the preventive measures.

Speaking in a sideline interview with Kessbenfm’s Osempakani Sampson during National and Regional supervisors workshop as part of long lasting insecticide mosquitoes net registration, Dr further called on Ghanaians to seek early treatment of malaria especially the pregnant women.

Added that pregnant women have to visit hospital for antenatal to protect them and their unborn babies.
