This three-country initiative comprising Kenya, Ghana and Senegal will be implemented over the course of five years (2007-2011). The drugmaker has selected key international and local health experts to develop and implement public health interventions that engage and educate treatment providers and patients in high-risk areas for the effective treatment and management of malaria.
