ZANZIBAR — THE United States government through the US Agency for International Development and the US Centres for Disease Control and Prevention joined Zanzibar government to commemorate World Malaria Day and announce a new wide-reaching mosquito nets' distribution campaign across the Islands.
"Despite the decrease in the number of malaria cases in Zanzibar, I have learned that, recently, there are some districts which have experienced an increase in malaria cases. This is not acceptable in Zanzibar. I ask that all measures be taken to control the cases by involving all responsible sectors," said Zanzibar Minister for Health Nassor Ahmed Mazrui.
"The United States is honoured to join the Zanzibar government in launching the mass replacement campaign for all of Zanzibar and ensuring their proper use. Working together, we are moving communities from awareness to real action," said USAID/Tanzania Mission Director Craig Hart during the event.
Implemented by USAID and CDC, PMI began partnering with Tanzania in 2006 and has invested more than 747 million US dollars in the country.
