Chiron Foundation Awards Grant to Support Disease Surveillance Program in India

San Francisco, CA - August 10, 2004

The Emeryville, Calif., biotechnology company’s foundation awarded OneWorld Health a $60,000 grant to conduct an eight-month surveillance program to determine disease burden and treatment access in communities affected with visceral leishmaniasis (VL) in Bihar, India.

The resulting report will serve as an important foundation for discussions next year with a variety of government, philanthropic, medical and local non-governmental organizations in structuring a comprehensive program to distribute the most effective therapies to ultimately control VL in Bihar.
