Adako Jachie community engaged on mitigating incidence of malaria - Adomonline.com

The Adako Jachie Methodist Child Development Center, in collaboration with Compassion International, has organized a program to mitigate the incidence of malaria infection within the community and its environs.

The week-long program is to commemorate World Malaria Day which falls on April 25.

“Since 3 years ago I was brought here, malaria has been the first among the top 10 cases reported at our facility

But leading with Compassion International here, we have been organizing this program each year and it has resulted in a drastic decline of malaria cases per our annual reports,” she asserted.

Local Assembly Member, Charles Bawuah said “by the UN theme for the year ‘Zero Malaria’ we will continue to work hard to eradicate malaria from our community”.

As part of the program a free health screening on Malaria, Random Blood Pressure and Weight Height, Body Mass Index was conducted for the community.

Students of Compassion International also staged choreography, drama, and poetry centered on creating awareness and prevention of malaria.
