Insecticide-Treated Mosquito Nets (ITNs)
Helping families sleep safely
Insecticide-treated nets physically block mosquitoes at night, when they are most likely to bite and kill mosquitoes that land on them.
Studies show that high use of nets reduces the number of malaria infections in a community. When enough people use nets in a community, the population of malaria-transmitting mosquitoes is greatly reduced and so is the risk of malaria infections even among those not sleeping under a net.
Since 2005, PMI has helped deliver 500 million nets to partner countries so they can achieve their goals of getting nets to people who need them. In addition, we work with partners to encourage communities to sleep under their nets all night, every night and to properly care for their nets. We also monitor insecticidal effectiveness and net durability.
