Many of the local people in her village  work in the forests and have had malaria sometime in  their lives. The villagers know  the importance  of LLINs for  the prevention  of mosquito-borne  disease. In  Cambodia,  the nationwide LLIN programme  was initiated  to ensure  these nets are  distributed  to local communities, such as farms and plantations in malaria-endemic zones, as identified by local  district and health-centre staff. In  these communities,  the provision  of LLINs matters because  they can help save lives.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_6956\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6956\" style=\"width: 234px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.oucru.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Dec-19_26-2020-Highlights1967-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.oucru.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Dec-19_26-2020-Highlights1967-2-234x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"234\" height=\"300\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-6956\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-6956\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Combating malaria with long-lasting insecticidal nets,<br \/>Pearl Gan<br \/><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Congratulations to Pearl Gan, OUCRU Photographer in Residence, for her winning image selected for the Lancet Highlights 2020: Framing Health Stories.
