What happens to old insecticide-treated nets after households use in Burkina Faso?
The findings underscore the need for comprehensive strategies to manage the disposal and repurposing of old ITNs in Burkina Faso. Addressing gaps in disposal guidelines, promoting safe and beneficial reuse practices, and actively involving communities in the decision-making process can help mitigate health risks associated with the improper disposal and repurposing of old insecticide-treated nets and improve the overall effectiveness of malaria control programmes. Through these efforts, both public health and environmental concerns can be addressed in a sustainable and collaborative manner.
