A play in aid of malaria research at the Institut Pasteur in Madagascar
On November 16 at 7pm, the Institut Pasteur in Paris will stage a production of the play "Oublier", by Marie Laberge, organized by the Versailles Rotary Club, with proceeds going to malaria research at the Institut Pasteur in Madagascar.
This event, along with several others organized by the Rotary Club's District 1660, aims to contribute to the challenge of eliminating malaria from Madagascar by raising funds for a fully equipped mobile laboratory that will take its services to populations in rural, isolated areas and help develop the local skills needed to improve diagnostics and treatment. This project will be carried out in conjunction with teaching and training activities in parasitology and biology for Madagascan Master's and PhD students, technicians, engineers, doctors and community workers.
