PHL-IdC

Since its inception, PHL-IdC has attained some considerable achievements, establishing Zanzibar as a pioneering location for developing global strategies for control of infectious diseases.

WHO CC

Successful public health interventions, especially in the area of NTDs (STH, Schistosomiasis and Lymphatic Filariasis), led to the recognition of PHL-IdC as the WHO Collaborating Centre for NTDs from 2013 after a previous role as a WHO CC on schistosomiasis and intestinal parasitic infections.
