Now concluded, the Health Challenge supported a range of projects related to public and global health, such as an anthropological assessment of HIV/AIDS treatment aftermath in the era of antiretroviral therapy; novel therapeutics for tuberculosis and malaria; new approaches to arrest the spread of disease at the molecular level; engineering innovations to improve the safety of community water supplies; an economic approach to the growing problem of drug resistance; and the local, provincial, and national governance of infectious disease.
