The German Government has donated 300,000 insecticide treated nets valued at US$3 million to the Liberian government to beef up its malaria control program.

According to the German Ambassador to Liberia IIse Lindemann Mache, the donation of the nets was in fulfillment of the pledge made by the German Chancellor Angela Merkel during her visit to Liberia on October 7, 2007.

Making the donation recently at the Ministry of Health in Monrovia, she said malaria is the primary cause for morbidity and mortality in Liberia, and as such, hoped that the donation would contribute meaningfully in the fight against the disease.

Receiving the donation on behalf of the Liberian Government , the Minister of Health and Social Welfare Dr. Welter Gweningale commended the German government for the gesture and promised that the items would be used in the fight against malaria which is taking away the lives of many Liberians.

He also thanked other partners including the Global Fund and UNFPA for their continuous support to the Liberian government especially the Ministry of Health and Social Welfare in its recovery program.
