Today the Uganda Health Marketing Group delivered 3,500 bed nets to the Bishop Asili Health Clinic. These bed nets were purchased by the Just Like My Child Foundation thanks to a generous anonymous donor. The bed nets are to be distributed in the coming months to community members who are in need of them. Sister Ernestine looks upon this delivery as an opportunity to assist the community with prevention of Malaria, which is one of the most common causes of death in Uganda. Once these mosquito nets are in the hands of the people who really need them, the general health of the community will improve and the incidents of malaria patients in the clinic will further reduce.
Julian from Uganda Health Marketing Group brought literature on mosquito net use in both English and the local language Luganda for each of the community members who will receive a bed net. 
Posters will be placed around the Bishop Asili Clinic for inpatients and outpatients to learn good practices for mosquito net use.
It was a really exciting day!!
