-- Earlier this year, Abbott announced its support of a partnership between the government of the eastern Indian state of Odisha and Malaria No More, which provides technology, expertise and funding support to advance efforts to end malaria in the state.
In collaboration with Malaria No More and the government of Odisha, Abbott is supplying 1 million rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) and technical expertise to strengthen Odisha's malaria detection and surveillance system.
Together with Malaria No More, we're looking forward to advancing this important work and to further building out Odisha's surveillance and data collection capacity.
To increase the impact of Odisha's success model, in August 2018, Malaria No More entered into an agreement with the government of Odisha to provide technical assistance to the Odisha Vector Borne Disease Control Program (VBDCP) and support overall strategy development.
Malaria No More is working with Odisha's VBDCP to strengthen malaria surveillance and reporting; improve data-driven decision making and enhance private health sector reporting of malaria; and create compelling health education and behavior-change campaigns.
