BONTOC, Mt. Province, March 23 - In efforts to eliminate malaria in the area, synchronized border spraying with the provinces of Kalinga, Isabela and Ifugao will be conducted on April 11.
Mt.Province Provincial Health Team Claudio Pancho said the team will be conducting the inter border malaria operations for the province.
This will be conducted in the boundaries of Sitio Damsite of barangay Anonat in Paracelis in this province with barangays Simmimbaan, San Placido, Sinamar, and Malusalem of Roxas in Isabela; barangay Buringal in Paracelis with barangay San Ramon in Mallig of Isabela; barangay Butac in Aguinaldo with barangay Banawel of Natonin; barangays Kiling and Caragasan both of Alfonso Lista in Ifugao with barangays Butigue and Palitud of Paracelis; barangays Calaccad and Cudal of Tabuk in Kalinga with barangay Bacarri of Paracelis; barangays Pangol and Lay- asan of Tanudan in Kalinga with barangays Bunot and Baccari of Paracelis.
Pancho said aside from this activity, the Global Fund Malaria Project through its partner Pilipinas Shell Foundation Inc., will be distributing 7,000 long lasting insecticide treated nets (LLINs) in the municipalities of Paracelis and Natonin for saturation to meet the goal of the Philippine Malaria Program by 2020 which is to eliminate malaria.
Paracelis and Natonin, located in the eastern part of the province, had the most number of malaria cases in the past.
Pancho disclosed that for the period January to March 2011, there is no reported positive case of malaria in the province.
Malaria cases in the province have been continuously decreasing. In 1998, there were 157 cases of malaria in the province and it went down to 77 in 1999. Last year, it further decreased to 15 cases and in the first quarter of calendar year 2011, there was no report on malaria cases, according to Pancho.
The conduct of intensified information education campaign against malaria and the strict monitoring on the use of treated nets by concerned agencies have contributed to the zero case of malaria in the first quarter, Pancho said.*(PIA-CAR/Mt. Province)
