Scientists at Kumasi Centre for Collaborative Research in Tropical Medicine at Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KCCR-KNUST) are optimistic about the future use of ivermectin among children aged five to 15 kilogrammes. The project, part of the IVM-KIDS partnership, aims to generate clinical and regulatory evidence to support the safe use of ivermectin in this group, currently excluded due to a lack of safety data.
The research collaboration involves experts from Ghana, Kenya, Tanzania, the Democratic Republic of Congo, the United Kingdom, Spain, and Switzerland, all working towards improving the control and elimination of neglected tropical diseases through mass drug administration strategies.
