Working with communities to prevent malaria

Tullow operates in a number of regions where malaria is either a seasonal or constant risk to our employees and the surrounding communities. In Pakistan, for 2007, we have formalised the preventive measures undertaken in 2006 and introduced a Malaria Management Programme in conjunction with the Malaria Control Board of Pakistan. The programme aims not only to reduce incidents of malaria in Tullow employees and contractors, but also in the neighbouring communities. Already this year, at the Chachar location, an education programme has been delivered to the local community together with mosquito nets for each family.
