Sudan: Mixed success on malaria control in the south
More than four million insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) have been distributed across Southern Sudan since 2007, but universal coverage of treatment remains a long way off, according to experts.
The region is, however, likely to achieve preventive targets set by African heads of state in 2000 at a summit in Abuja, Nigeria. These include at least 80 percent of people at risk from malaria using locally appropriate vector control methods like ITNs and indoor residual spraying.
