The settlement of Epukiro Post 3 in the Omaheke Region has been plagued by mosquitoes in recent weeks due to stagnant water in the area. 

Residents of the settlement have expressed concern about the health hazard if the situation is not promptly addressed. 

Ida Mendai, the Regional Health Director of Kavango East, is urging residents to cooperate with spray operators during the Indoor Residual Spray Campaign.

This method of malaria prevention targets mosquitoes that rest indoors and is set to begin on September 16th.
