The High Commissioner of Namentenga Province, Adama Conseiga, asked each family to subscribe to waste collection associations to ensure regular removal of household refuse. He was speaking on Saturday 7 November in Boulsa, at the launch of the fourth and final phase of the 2026 National Anti-Vector Control Days (JNLAV), according to AIB.
During the ceremony, held at the multimedia centre in Sector 6 of Boulsa, participants cleared the grounds, removing piles of rubbish and tall grass in two hours of work. The special delegation president of Boulsa, Issaka Sangla, called on residents to keep the area clean and warned against haphazard dumping of waste.
Facing the threat of dengue, the chief medical officer of the Boulsa health district, Dr Emile Compaoré, said the Boulsa Medical Centre with surgical annexe has not recorded any deaths among its patients. He advises against self-medication and urges people to consult promptly if they feel unwell. These days, held on the first Saturday of each month with community-based health workers, aim to eliminate malaria by 2030.
