A malaria prevention campaign has been launched in the high-risk areas of Kerio Valley, led by the Elgeyo Marakwet County Department of Health.
Speaking during the official launch at Chegilet Health Centre in Kerio Valley, the Chief Officer for Preventive and Promotive Health, Caroline Magut, announced that the Indoor Residual Spraying (IRS) exercise is underway in a bid to curb malaria infections in the region. "This is a critical intervention to reduce malaria-related deaths and improve the overall health and well-being of our communities," Magut said.
She emphasized that the department is committed to ensuring that every household in the targeted areas is reached during the campaign.
The exercise will cover Arror, Emsoo, Endo, Soy North, and Soy South, which are known malaria hotspots.
