THE American government is to help Kabale district to spray homes against mosquitoes.
The district director of health services, Dr. Patrick Tusiime, said they were carrying out indoor residual spraying using ICON insecticide.
Spraying has started in Maziba sub-county but will cover all the 19 sub-counties in order to reduce the incidence of malaria.
The funds came from the President Bush Initiative on Malaria, a pilot programme that will roll-out to other highland districts.
He said at least five tones of the insecticide and equipment had already been procured and delivered to the district.
Tusiime said the spraying was being supervised by the Ministry of Health, United States Agency for International Development and implemented by RPI, an American company.
