Village Health Teams (VHTs) in Oluffe Sub-county and in other Sub-counties of Maracha district have on Monday 11-Sep-2023 been enrolled for a Two days training Organized by Partners in Development and Center for Holistic Transformation (PICOT), on how to fight Malaria through a Presidential Malaria Initiative (PMI) scheme under a program of Make Malaria Out of Uganda by year 2030.


Village Health Team personnel from Kamaka parish, Oluffe Sub-county Mr Sabino Aluma who says Malaria cases in his area have increased because of an end of ICCM program by an NGO who was freely supplying Malaria drugs across villages, has appealed to District authorities to ensure pits that were created while excavating marrums for Road constructions should be filled to avoid mosquito breeding in such pits that have become a spot for stagnant waters.


Ms Jennifer Opiru from Mundru parish says, they are been blamed for not doing enough by going to various health centres to pick drugs to manage emergency Malaria cases in the villages.


A nursing assistant with Maracha District,  Ms Emilly Lenia who is one of the trainers PICOT contracted to train the VHTs, noted that, the target of the training is to prepare the VHTs in eradicating Malaria in the villages.
