Sleeping under long-lasting insecticidal nets protects against malaria
These nets provide personal protection against mosquito bites. They can be used as protection for people most at risk of malaria, such as young children and pregnant women in high malaria transmission areas. The nets are effective for three to five years, depending on the model and conditions of use. According to the World malaria report 2011, 96% of people with access to a net use it.
