Métodos Preventivos Contra el Paludismo
A health poster listing preventive methods against malaria with a drawing for each: screens on windows and doors, a bed net, oiling puddles, draining water, insecticide spray and education. It is instructional. The only technique that fits is the selection of remedies with no data on their effect (card-stacking, closest fit); each item is a standard measure shown as a practical step.
