2008 PRINCE OF ASTURIAS AWARD FOR INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION

The Malaria Research and Training Center (MRTC)

The Jury has also taken in consideration the role played by these four centres in encouraging research, achieving an effective vaccine and contributing to improvements in medical care in the countries in which they operate. The work of these organisations in the training of local staff for biomedical research and institutional backing in the fight against malaria has likewise been especially valued by the Jury.
