Happy Anniversary

April the 18th marks the 5-year anniversary of the very first MBC baby. Turning five completes the follow-up period of a comprehensive study that began with the recruitment of pregnant women, tracking their children from birth through vaccination visits, annual check-ups, and in cases of fever. As a farewell packet and “special treat” for the children, they were gifted a T-shirt and the mothers a one-year extension of their health insurance. Mothers and T11 children were invited for a photo shoot and community gathering.

Last week, the ASAAP annual meeting was held in Cotonou, Benin, bringing together study teams from Benin (IRCB), Burkina Faso (INSTech), France (IRD, UPD), Gabon (CERMEL), Germany (BNITM), Ghana (KCCR/KNUST) and Mali (MRTC/USTTB) to discuss the current status of the project before entering its final phase of recruitment. The EDCTP-funded clinical trial is investigating the efficacy of artemether-lumefantrine (AL) in combination with atovaquone-proguanil (AP), a triple therapy for the treatment of uncomplicated malaria in African children.
