SolidarMed research, Erasmus mobility and a leprosy and TB strategy meeting

Directorate of Research, Partnerships and Community Services

01 Dec 2025

Two research projects with SolidarMed were under way, on household Kangaroo Care for low-birth-weight babies in Ifakara and on trends in sexually transmitted infections among adolescents in Ulanga, with a third on adolescent depression and anxiety due to start in January 2026. Four staff members began an academic visit to the University of Bologna under the Erasmus Mobility Project, and a strategic meeting with the German Leprosy and TB Relief Association and Nazareth Leprosy Centre agreed six priorities, including joint research, workforce training and facility upgrades.
