We are working in remote border areas, with local health bodies and the Lao Women’s Union, to teach ethnic communities about the disease. This includes:
- training village volunteers to educate their peers about malaria
- targeting school children via a health programme
- distributing bed nets
- diagnosing and referring malaria sufferers to a health facility
- teaching health workers how to conduct routine monitoring and evaluation to ensure the success of the project.
Health Poverty Action is working alongside the Global Fund and local partners in this project in five provinces in Laos.
