Protecting Your Family from Malaria This Rainy Season

As the rains return to Lagdera Sub-County, stagnant water collects quickly around homesteads, water pans, and roadside ditches, creating breeding grounds for mosquitoes. Our outpatient team continues to see a rise in malaria cases during this period, most affecting children under five and pregnant mothers.

Households can reduce risk by draining standing water near the home, sleeping under treated mosquito nets every night, and seeking testing early when fever appears rather than waiting for symptoms to worsen. Our laboratory offers same-day malaria testing, and our pharmacy stocks first-line treatment recommended by the Ministry of Health.

If a child develops a high fever, chills, or unusual drowsiness, bring them in immediately rather than waiting. Early treatment prevents complications and shortens recovery time significantly.
