The MENTOR Initiative is urgently preparing itself for an epidemic response where a drought ridden malnourished population in the North East has the potential to be ravaged by another epidemic.The MENTOR Initiative will be working with donors for the next four years to establish epidemic preparedness planning in North Eastern Province. Mapping of malaria transmission in the area (P. Falciparum and P. Vivax), establishing the most effective means of accessing populations for case management, determining the suitable prevention tools and monitoring entomological patterns will be the basis of establishing the capacity for the district to implement malaria control in this region. |
