Mandera County joined the rest of the world in marking World Malaria Day with a strong emphasis on prevention, through the distribution of mosquito nets to vulnerable groups including pregnant women and mothers with newborn babies.
This year's event was held under the global theme "Reinvest, Reimagine, reignite" - a grassroots campaign aimed at revitalising efforts from global policy to community action in order to accelerate progress toward malaria elimination.
The campaign was spearheaded by the Mandera County Department of Health in collaboration with development partners and health stakeholders.
Over 1,000 mosquito nets were distributed across various sub-counties.
