Dar es Salaam. Medical experts and researchers have called for stronger China-Africa collaboration in traditional medicine and malaria research, saying such partnerships in scientific innovation and herbal medicine could accelerate efforts to eliminate the disease across the continent.
Speaking during a lecture-discussion under the China-Africa Traditional Medicine Cooperation Project, a professor at Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine, Xiao He, said China’s experience in eliminating malaria offers a valuable model for Tanzania and other African countries still facing high malaria prevalence.
“The scope for China-Africa research partnerships extends well beyond drug discovery. We can co-develop surveillance protocols tailored to local transmission patterns,” Prof He said.
