Five Simple Ways to Protect Your Family from Malaria

Practical, everyday steps every household can take to reduce the risk of malaria.

Malaria remains one of the most common reasons families visit our health centre — yet much of it is preventable. Sleeping under a treated mosquito net every night, especially for children and expectant mothers, is one of the most effective protections available.

Clear stagnant water around the home where mosquitoes breed, wear covering clothing in the evenings, and seek testing early if fever appears. Prompt diagnosis and treatment save lives. If you or a family member develop a fever, do not wait — come in for a quick malaria test.
