Bayer is supporting the World Health Organization (WHO) in the fight against sleeping sickness, which threatens nearly 60 million people in Africa. Bayer is providing the pharmaceutical products Germanin® and Lampit® to the WHO free of charge for an initial five-year period to fight this disease, which is caused by a parasite transmitted by the tsetse fly. Sleeping sickness was brought under control in the 1960s but since then prevention and therapy have been neglected, leading to a dramatic resurgence of illness and deaths caused by the disease.
