Welcome!

The Malaria Institute at Macha (MIAM) is a joint collaborative effort - to develop a center of excellence in rural Zambia that will carry out state-of-the-art malaria research - including molecular biology, entomology, epidemiology and clinical studies.

The partners involved in this effort are the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg  School of Public Health; Macha Malaria Research Institute (MMRI), which is a US-based non profit organization; Macha Mission Hospital in southern Zambia; and the Zambian government through its Ministry of Health.

Our vision is that some day malaria will no longer cause such a heavy burden of suffering and death in children living in this part of Africa.

Please watch us as we develop these web pages! We have updated our photo gallery and added a link to our blog site. Feel free to click on the news link to read more of what is happening at Macha. Come back and visit again, to see what else we have added!

Sincerely,

Phil Thuma, Director.
