INDEPTH Network Tests Vaccines In Ghana

KINTAMPO, GHANA - SEPTEMBER 18: A man part of the medical team of INDEPTH checks blood samples for malaria September 18, 2007 in the Kintampo Health Center Lab in Ghana, Africa. Candidates for drugs or vaccines against malaria, TB and HIV are increasingly moving into clinical trials, and these trials are best held in regions where the diseases hit hardest. But it is complicated to monitor the testing of potential life-saving products when people have no home addresses, official means of identification, or even consistent spelling of family names. Fred Binka, a Ghanaian physician and epidemiologist who runs the INDEPTH Network, is developing systems that can make clinical trials more efficient across Africa. His organization works with community leaders to establish basic identification systems, such as numbering huts in a village or handing out laminated ID cards with photos.
