Implementation Of Superior Treatment Regimen And Improved Patient Pathway For Neurocysticercosis In Sub-Saharan Africa
Addressing Neurocysticercosis In Sub-Saharan Africaneurocysticercosis (Ncc) Is A Fatal Disease Caused By The Ingestion Of Pork Tapeworm Eggs. It Is Prevalent In Sub-Saharan Africa And Can Cause Severe Damage To The Central Nervous System, With Epileptic Seizures As The Primary Symptom. Ncc Management Guidelines Have Been Published By The Who, But Their Uptake In National Policies Is Limited. The Eu-Funded Neurosolve Project Will Investigate The Implementation Of A Combination Treatment Against Parasitic Infections And A Serological Test. The Project Will Provide Training To Early-Career Researchers And Healthcare Workers, Upgrade Surveillance Infrastructure, Demonstrate The Effectiveness Of Combined Treatments, And Evaluate The Impact Of Serological Testing And The Cost-Effectiveness Of The Proposed Health Technologies. Policy-Makers And Relevant Stakeholders Will Be Involved Throughout The Project, Facilitating The Translation Of Research Outcomes Into Policy.
