SADC Malaria Day

Commemoration of SADC Malaria Day is held annually on 6th November to create awareness about malaria and mobilise communities to participate in the malaria control programmes. The communities are mobilised through health education to create awareness and are taught to recognise signs and symptoms of malaria to seek immediate treatment when feeling sick, empower communities on home-based treatment and to capacitate communities on the use of personal protective measures to mitigate against the spread of malaria.
