Merck has announced a plan to host its first Bilharzia Storytelling Lab in Kenya. The lab is a three-day workshop bringing together 30 Kenyan community leaders and storytellers. The participants will be working on the task to develop new innovative ways of storytelling to empower and inform risk groups on prevention and or treatment of bilharzia.
More than 240 million people worldwide require treatment for the Neglected Tropical Disease (NTDs) bilharzia (also known as schistosomiasis or snail fever). It is estimated that 200,000 people die from the consequences of their long-term infections each year.
