The First National Bank of Namibia donated 800 mosquito nets to expectant mothers in the Zambezi Region to support efforts in the fight against malaria.

Zambezi Health Director Woita Kampuburu welcomed the gesture.

The Kavango East Region has recorded over 3,300 cases of malaria so far this year.

In response, the Ministry of Health and Social Services is urging residents to allow indoor residual spray teams into their homes as the malaria prevention campaign officially kicks off this Monday.
