The Global Fund has partnered with Population Service International, Kenya (PSIK) to distribute 15.1 million long-lasting treated mosquito nets in 23 counties that are malaria-prone.

Paul Manyasi, in-charge of PSIK in Kakamega, said 45 per cent of residents do not use nets. He urged them to register and get the nets to help reduce malaria cases.
