Swiss Tropical and Public Health Institute — Dumuria Nets for Malaria Prevention in Nomadic Populations (NOMHAD)
Verified[Global Health R&D] Open Philanthropy recommended a grant of $2,374,022 over three years to the Swiss Tropical and Public Health Institute to support research on the effectiveness of PermaNet® Dumuria (Vestergaard) nets. These nets are non-mesh, treated with insecticide, and designed to protect outdoor sleepers and people living in temporary semi-open shelters from malaria-carrying mosquitoes. The research will evaluate Dumuria nets' effectiveness, cost, durability, and acceptability among pastoralist nomadic populations in South Sudan. It will be led by Dr. Natacha Protopopoff, in collaboration with the Bridge Network South Sudan, Kilimanjaro Christian Medical Centre, the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, Médecins Sans Frontières (Operational Centre Brussels), and South Sudan's Ministry of Health. This falls within our focus area of global health R&D.
