In 2006, the Regional Health Office (DSDS) in French Guiana undertook a major operation involving importation and distribution of long-lasting insecticide treated nets (LLIN/ITN). In collaboration with the WHO, a Vietnamese manufacturer of LLINs suited to the requirements of French Guiana was sourced. With the help of a dynamic local importer and dealer, a sales network was developed through chemist shops located all over French Guiana. This network provided wide coverage since these outlets can be found in all large communities. The selling price ranged from 15 to 23 euros depending on the model, i.e., hammock or bed size. In addition, LLINs were distributed within the framework of two special programs. First they are given to women giving birth in French Guiana and undergoing medical surveillance as part of the Mother and Child Protection program by public healthcare system. Second they are distributed in case of natural disaster or other events that could lead to an increased risk of vector-borne outbreaks. Thanks to this operation, a total of 13,882 LLINs were delivered in French Guiana from July 2006 to December 2008. This milestone operation in the fight against malaria was made possible thanks to funding granted on a one-time basis after the outbreak of dengue in 2005-2006. The structure of this operation and its survival will depend on the continued goodwill and determination of a small group of local partners who created this successful distribution campaign with no specific guidance or program from the national authorities.
2006年,法属圭亚那地区卫生局开展了一项重大行动,涉及长效驱虫蚊帐(LLIN/ITN)的进口和分发。该局与世卫组织合作,找到了一家符合法属圭亚那要求的越南长效驱虫蚊帐制造商。在当地一家活跃的进口商和经销商的帮助下,通过遍布法属圭亚那各地的药店建立了一个销售网络。由于这些销售点在所有大型社区都能找到,该网络覆盖范围广泛。根据型号(即吊床或床用尺寸)不同,售价在15至23欧元之间。此外,长效驱虫蚊帐还在两个特别项目框架内进行分发。其一,作为公共医疗系统母婴保护项目的一部分,将其分发给在法属圭亚那分娩并接受医疗监测的妇女。其二,在自然灾害或其他可能导致病媒传播疾病爆发风险增加的事件发生时进行分发。由于这项行动,2006年7月至2008年12月期间,法属圭亚那共发放了13,882顶长效驱虫蚊帐。这项抗击疟疾的里程碑式行动得以开展,得益于2005 - 2006年登革热疫情爆发后一次性提供的资金。这项行动的架构及其持续开展将取决于一小群当地合作伙伴的持续善意和决心,他们在没有国家当局具体指导或项目的情况下开展了这场成功的分发活动。
