Disease Eradication: Harvard Varsity Lauds Floating of NASENI-Troment Factory
About 85 global medical professionals, scientists and policymakers participating in the ‘Science of Defeating Malaria’, leadership development course and initiative from Harvard University, USA, have commended the establishment of NASENI-Troment Biotechnologies factory as pivotal to eradicating malaria and infectious diseases in Nigeria and Africa.
While touring the multi-million dollar factory yesterday, the team, impressed by the facility for the production of rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs), said it was a good move to establish a 100 per cent Nigerian-owned diagnostic brand.
Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder, NASENT-Troment Biotechnologies, Mr. Selim Hani, in a presentation stated that the factory is a strategic partnership between the National Agency for Science and Engineering Infrastructure (NASENI) and Troment Nigeria Limited aimed at strengthening Nigeria’s healthcare sovereignty through local production of diagnostic technologies.
“This facility built from ground zero in the last 18 months, focuses on manufacturing of RDTs and in-vitro diagnostic (IVD) products, enabling early detection of major infectious and public health diseases.
