A coalition of Civil Society Organizations working on Malaria Nutrition and Immunization, ACOMIN, has sensitized members of some communities in Kano on malaria prevention and how to access free commodities at their health facilities.
The sensitization, which commenced in February this year, is part of Catholic Relief Services (CRS), under the ongoing Global Fund Malaria Grant and will run for two years in eight local government areas.
