This week’s Fist Bump Friday goes out to VL ITN Lead Prince Owusu. For nearly two decades, Prince has promoted the use of bed nets across Ghana. As ITN Lead he ensures all ITN-related malaria prevention planned activities are implemented and achieve high-quality results. He works with NMCP to ensure households obtain ITNs through mass campaigns and routine channels, such as health facilities and schools. He also develops social and behavior change interventions to promote consistent ITN use and care among household members in efforts to reduce malaria. A key intervention being implemented is encouraging school children to drive ITN use and care among their peers, parents and in communities through drama and other community engagements.
Read about his experience and ways he works with the project and NMCP here.
Thanks to Prince for his passion and dedication to protecting those most vulnerable!
