Continuous Distribution of Long-Lasting Insecticidal Nets in Africa Through Antenatal and Immunization Services: A Joint Statement by the Roll Back Malaria Working Groups on Malaria in Pregnancy and Vector Control and the Alliance for Malaria Prevention

This statement is issued by the Roll Back Malaria (RBM) Partnership Working Groups on Malaria in Pregnancy and Vector Control, together with the Alliance for Malaria Prevention. Our aim is to appeal for more complete implementation of the WHO Recommendations for Achieving Universal Coverage With Long-Lasting Insecticidal Nets in Malaria Control (released September 2013, revised March 2014) [1]. In particular we wish to draw attention to this recommendation regarding long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs): “Continuous distribution channels should be functional before, during, and after the mass distribution campaigns to avoid any gaps in universal access to LLINs”.
