As part of its plan to reduce malaria infections in Guyana by 2025 the Ministry of Health (MoH) will soon commence distribution of insecticide-treated mosquito nets to families living in the hinterland regions.
Health Minister Dr. Frank Anthony on Friday noted that the Ministry has been working on reducing malaria infections as there has been a notable increase of cases from 2015 to now. According to the minister 2015 recorded the lowest number of malaria infections in the country but since then there has been a 46% increase in cases during the following years.
