Global collaboration in action! 🌍
UTMB Center for Tropical Diseases (CTD) is proud to partner with Kabarak University's School of Medicine and Health Sciences to tackle antimicrobial resistance (AMR) through diagnostic innovation.
Together we have established the Kabarak–UTMB Synergistic Alliance for Innovative Diagnostics for Infections in Africa (KUSAIDIA) - a consortium whose name means “to help” in Swahili. KUSAIDIA unites the two universities and ten affiliated Kenyan hospitals to develop rapid, low-cost, user-friendly microbiology tests for resource-limited settings across sub-Saharan Africa. This partnership strengthens diagnostic capacity, accelerates AMR research, and empowers healthcare systems across borders.
This partnership brings together global expertise to strengthen diagnostic capacity, accelerates AMR research, and empowers healthcare systems across borders.
