EXCLUSIVE: Ifakara shares malaria innovations in The Telegraph
In a recent exclusive interview with one of the top UK tabloids, The Telegraph, Ifakara Health Institute highlighted the groundbreaking innovations it is pioneering in the fight against malaria.
Published on November 20, 2024, Maeve Cullinan's article spotlights the transformative work of Ifakara researchers in Tanzania, who are developing tools such as mosquito-repellent sandals and insecticide-treated "eaves ribbons."
These affordable solutions – which Cullinan witnessed when she travelled to Tanzania to source the feature last month, offer protection during outdoor hours, complementing traditional prevention methods.
Ifakara is also at the forefront of genetic modification efforts to create malaria-free mosquitoes, while advancing vaccine trials and leveraging AI-powered diagnostics. These innovations underscore Africa's leadership in delivering scalable, community-centered solutions to eliminate malaria.
Ifakara is proud to contribute to this global conversation, sharing insights to inspire informed dialogue and drive collective efforts toward a malaria-free future.
