LUSAKA, Zambia–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Zinc Saves Kids, a global child\u2011health initiative of the International Zinc Association (IZA)<\/a>, has announced a new partnership with leading Zambian pharmaceutical manufacturer Pharmanova Zambia Limited<\/a> to expand access to life\u2011saving zinc treatments for children across Zambia.<\/p>\n

<\/a>
<\/a>
<\/a>
<\/a><\/p>\n

\nThe collaboration was formally celebrated during a ceremony in Lusaka with the Zambian Ministry of Health, Pharmanova Zambia Limited, and IZA represented by Environment Health & Sustainability Director Dr. Eric Van Genderen.<\/p>\n

\nIZA and Pharmanova have united in an effort to scale up treatment for childhood diarrhea using zinc, an essential micronutrient that strengthens immune systems and reduces the severity and duration of diarrheal disease. The need is urgent: more than 30% of Zambia\u2019s population is zinc\u2011deficient, leaving children especially vulnerable to diarrhea, pneumonia, and malaria. Globally, 116,000 children are estimated to die from zinc deficiency related issues every year.<\/p>\n

\nThrough this partnership, every dollar donated to Zinc Saves Kids will directly support the distribution of Kit Yamoyo, the \u201cKit of Life,\u201d which includes oral rehydration salts (ORS) and a ten\u2011day supply of zinc tablets. Zinc and ORS are recommended by the World Health Organization for the treatment of diarrhea. Each kit provides a complete treatment for diarrhea and helps prevent future illness.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cIZA is thrilled to work with Pharmanova to address zinc deficiency, which weakens the immune systems of at\u2011risk children and leaves them vulnerable to diarrhea, pneumonia, and malaria,\u201d said Dr. Van Genderen. \u201cZinc is critical to healthy mental and physical development, and this partnership is an important step toward improving child health in Zambia.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nThe first tranche of donations already has supplied 50,000 zinc and oral rehydration kits to Zambian children. Distribution is being conducted through the government\u2019s Healthy Learners program, which operates in schools nationwide and focuses on reaching rural and underserved communities.<\/p>\n

\nPharmanova, established in 1980, developed Kit Yamoyo to combat childhood diarrhea and has previously partnered with agencies including USAID and UNICEF to expand access to essential medicines.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cThere is a great need for Kit Yamoyo across Zambia and beyond, so we are pleased to have the opportunity to work with the International Zinc Association, which has a long history of addressing zinc deficiency worldwide,\u201d said Mohammed Umar, CEO of Pharmanova. \u201cWe envision a long and fruitful partnership with Zinc Saves Kids.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nLaunched in 2010, Zinc Saves Kids works to raise awareness of global zinc deficiency and supports programs focused on supplementation, food fortification, and treatment. The partnership with Pharmanova marks a significant expansion of the initiative\u2019s reach, which has previously raised more than $4 million to provide life-saving research, education, and treatment related to zinc.<\/p>\n
