A team of health officials in Mangochi, a southern district in Malawi have been sent to sensitise the communities about the good use of mosquito nets, after it was discovered that the nets that goverment distributed are being used as fishing nets. The district's health officer Dr Frank Sinyiza cornfirm this recently that most of the beneficiaries to the subsidised or free mosquito nets that government was provinding recently in the lake side district to reduce the number of people dying with malaria in the country are using the nets as fishing nets. According to the health officer the situation is a challenge and they are doing their best to arrest it as soon as posible. he said the situation is worse in the areas where they catch the small fish called 'USIPA'. about 110 people die of Malaria every day in Malawi.
