Dr. Paul Sondo and his team at the Institut de Recherche en Sciences de la Santé (IRSS) in Burkina Faso are focused on a critical intersection: malnutrition and malaria. By combining Edesia’s nutrient-products, like Plumpy’Doz and Nutributter, with seasonal malaria prevention, we aim to strengthen children’s immune systems, prevent illness, and pave the way for healthier futures.
