Tackling infectious disease in sub-Saharan Africa: EDCTP-funded clinical studies for medical interventions 2003-2018

Overview of selected EDCTP-funded clinical studies for medical interventions against poverty-related infectious diseases, 2003-2018. To date, EDCTP has achieved significant success in bringing together researchers and institutions in Europe and Africa, conducting clinical research and developing research capacity in sub-Saharan Africa.

Building on the successes of the first programme, newly funded EDCTP2 projects are continuing to address the key infectious disease challenges in sub-Saharan Africa, with infants, children, women and other vulnerable groups an important focus.
