At Uganics Repellents Ltd, we are committed to tackling a major global health challenge: malaria. According to Uganda’s Ministry of Health (MOH), malaria remains the most frequently reported disease in both public and private health facilities. It is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality, responsible for 30-50% of outpatient visits, 15-20% of hospital admissions, and up to 20% of all hospital deaths. Alarmingly, 27.2% of inpatient deaths among children under the age of five are due to malaria.

Despite the progress made by the Ugandan government in distributing mosquito nets—often the only preventative measure accessible to many families—this approach has not been entirely effective. Mosquito nets only provide protection during sleep and require a bed, limiting their overall effectiveness in combating malaria.
