Malaria & Typhoid Alert Due To Rising Cases In Masaka District

By Roperfree 


The increased cases of typhoid and malaria have caused public health concern in Masaka, according to health authorities; the public are advised to use the available preventative tools to fight malaria and typhoid. 

Great news is that by the start of this year, 2026, the National Malaria Control Program under the Ministry of Health Uganda has started a national distribution of mosquito bednets & sooner or later, Masaka District will be saved from the rising cases of malaria.




The public should be sensitized about practicing good hygiene to prevent the spread of typhoid and using mosquito repellents such as Roperfree mosquito repellent oils on top of sleeping under the bed-nets for maximum protection against mosquito bites and malaria transmission.




According to Gabriel Ssembatya the Deputy in Charge of Nakasojo Health Center 3 in Kyanamukaka Sub County in Masaka District, the most vulnerable are children and pregnant mothers due to poor hygiene such as drinking unboiled water, eating unwashed fruits and failure to sleep under mosquito bed-nets and lack of availability of mosquito repellents such as Roperfree mosquito repellents to stop mosquito bites and malaria transmission.



Mr. Ssebantya advised parents to take care of their children by not allowing them to roam villages, as they could be vulnerable to being exposed to the wrong company and ending up getting pregnant or being infected with HIV/AIDS.
