Ivanhoe expands its malaria campaign in DRC

Africa-focused project developer Ivanhoe Mines is expanding its Know for Sure campaign, an initiative sponsored by Ivanhoe and China-based gold, copper and nonferrous metals producer Zijin Mining Group to help control malaria in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). The project uses mobile smart devices called Deki Readers to help healthworkers conduct and analyse tests, helping them to accurately diagnose malaria, while providing quality, actionable data to the DRC Ministry of Health through an online healthcare management portal.
