Raising awareness, Karan
As I waited for the MSF team to finish their inspection, I sat under the tree with a bunch of villagers and we drank tea and talked.
Information is a vital part of the fight against malaria, many are still unaware of the true nature of the disease or of the importance of using mosquito nets at night as a first line of protection. Many also still do self-medication with chloroquine that can be found evrywhere for very cheap. It is difficult to make people believe that it is no longer effective in these parts of the country, and that they should stop using it because it’s only making it worse.
