TANA Netting - Our story

Malaria is a preventable and treatable disease. Yet every minute a child dies of malaria and more than a billion people remain at risk. At TANA Netting we are committed to improve the lives of people threatened by malaria and other vectorborne diseases by providing cost-effective and high-quality preventive products.

DawaPlus® 2.0 is a long-lasting insecticidal net (LLIN) recommended by the World Health Organization Pesticide Evaluation Scheme (WHOPES) as a tool for malaria control and prevention.

TANA Netting is part of NRS International, a group of companies that develops and manufactures products for the humanitarian aid, development and public health sectors. We pride ourselves in manufacturing what we sell and adhere to sustainable and ethical business standards throughout our processes and supply chain. DawaPlus® 2.0 is manufactured at our state-of-the-art facility H. Sheikh Noor-ud-Din & Sons, located in Lahore, Pakistan.

Expertise and partnerships

We provide reliable logistical support to our clients from our Dubai head office to ensure the nets reach the beneficiaries as quickly as possible, even in hard-to-reach destinations.

We are actively involved in global programs and partnerships for the improvement of vector control tools, policies, advocacy and program implementation.

Malaria Consortium field testing

Biological efficacy of DawaPlus® 2.0 against anopheles gambiae mosquitoes

Malaria Consortium in Uganda performed field tests on DawaPlus® 2.0 nets for a period of three years.

In 2012, the Consortium published the final results.

Among the conclusions drawn, the Consortium confirmed the following:

After 36 months of field use 83.3% (95% CI 65.3– 94.4) of the DawaPlus® 2.0 nets fulfilled the WHOPES criteria for the bioassay test, i.e. the criteria of 80% net survival rate for the WHOPES phase III evaluation were fulfilled.
