USAID DONATES $14.6M INSECTICIDE-TREATED BED NETS TO CROSS RIVER, EBONYI STATES




The Director of the U.S. Agency for Development (USAID), Mr Michael Harvey, on Friday announced the donation of 14.6 million dollars (N2.8 billion) worth of insecticide-treated bed nets to Cross River and Ebonyi states. 

Harvey said in a statement issued by the U.S. Diplomatic Mission in Nigeria, that the donation was the U.S. government’s commitment to the prevention of malaria in Nigerian communities.

Harvey also expressed his organisation’s willingness to work closely with Nigeria's National Malaria Control Programme and Malaria Control programmes in the states to prevent malaria in communities.

He said that the donation would continue to improve the use of treated bed nets, indoor spraying, accurate diagnosis and preventive treatment of pregnant women in Nigeria.

SOMETIMES I WISH WE WOULD START MAKING THESE BASIC WORLD THINGS!!!!
