Gosanet Foundation, a health NGO, in collaboration with the Adaklu District Health Directorate with funding from Global Fund through the National Malaria Control Program (NMCP) of the Ghana Health Service has organized a one-day refresher orientation on malaria interventions and COVID-19 workshop.

Held at Adaklu District Health Directorate Conference Hall, the refresher training workshop sought to educate and increase awareness of Community-Based Advocates (CBAs) and relevant stakeholders on COVID-19 and malaria prevention and control strategies.

The workshop among other things also sought to sharpen the activities of CBAs to effectively carry out outreaches in their various communities on malaria interventions, identifying pregnant women, and following up on intermittent preventive treatment for them.

As part of the implemented activities, he mentioned that five (5) community durbars were successfully held in Adaklu Waya, Wumenu, Torda, Kodzobi, Agblefe/Goefe, and a total of 641 community members were sensitized to malaria control interventions and COVID-19.

On her part, Adaklu District Disease Control Officer, Madam Christine Attachey who presented on malaria indicated that Plasmodium vivax are the parasites that cause the most cases of malaria, adding that, there are essentially five key stages to the Plasmodium life cycle; transmission to the human, liver stage, red blood cell stage, transmitting to mosquito and mosquito stages.
She mentioned; high fever, profuse sweating, headache, nausea, vomiting, convulsion, and muscle pains as some symptoms of malaria and urged all participants to seek early diagnosis and treatment in order to reduce prevent death and also to reduce malaria transmission.
