emerging diseases in Africa
Created by Gaelle Kolb on 31 Oct 08 01:08 PM CDT
Dear Dr. Phillips, I participated at the AAAS discussion about "solving the Malaria Epidemic". I really appreciate the ideas and commitments your have put into Malaria Research and Education. However, i would like to know if Exxon Mobil would also help in identifying other pathogens having a huge impact on the African population such as emerging viruses? You also pointed out that you are working closely with NGOs and government on the ground, do you feel that the message is well understood? To my knowledge, the most difficult part for attaining the population's attention is to speak their language. Would you educate people from communities, villages who would subsequently deliver the message to their peers? I appreciate your time and i really would be interested about your eventual portfolio on emerging viruses. Best regards Gaelle Gaelle KOLB, PhD Postdoctoral Fellow Laboratory of Viral Diseases NIAID, NIH 4 Center Drive, Room 131 Bethesda, MD 20892 USA Office: (301) 496-8012

mosquito nets for Kenya
Created by JANET MAGNANI MD MPH on 22 Aug 08 05:22 AM CDT
Dear Dr. Phillips. I am working with the African Health Foundation to help them get bed nets for a village of Malela near Homa Bay. There is a high incidence of HIV - about 30 percent and malaria in this village. Can we get them from nothing but nets or your program. We will need at least three hundred nets. I am working with the nonprofit the African Health Foundation, a small nonprofit dedicated to treating Aids orphans in Malela and we are trying to help develop a health center there and are beginning a program of community health workers. I would appreciate your input. If we have to buy them, could you suggest where would be the best place given that this village is in Kenya - Thanks - dr. Janet Magnani
