Fight against malaria.

Kenya medical research institute(KEMRI) has shared their insight on how rainfall and temperature combined increase the number of mosquitoes being bred.Such inputs help people fight against malaria.Sleeping under treated mosquito nets will help reduce the number of women, children who are most vulnerable from being bitten by the female anopheles mosquito.When peoples health deteriorate, the productivity of their day to day activity goes down and that goes for food production too.With the malaria survey that is done, the public health department has their work cut out for them.

New study links climate change to malaria increase in northern Kenya

Malaria, spread by Anopheles mosquitoes, is one of the deadliest diseases in the world. In Kenya, malaria remains a major health challenge, particularly for children under the age of five years. With over 5 million cases reported annually, climate change is expected to exacerbate the situation by enabling the disease to spread to new areas.
