Burundi has launched a national campaign to distribute insecticide-treated mosquito nets as part of its efforts to combat malaria.



The launch event, hosted by First Lady Angeline Ndayishimiye on Wednesday, took place in Kibumbu, located in the Mwaro district of Gitega Province in central Burundi.



Burundian officials and representatives of United Nations agencies and development and financial partners engaged in the health sector attended the event.



The campaign, which will run until Dec. 1, was launched in Kibumbu due to the fact that the area is the worst hit by malaria, according to the first lady.
