Why curbing Lassa fever is Critical
Lassa fever is a viral hemorrhagic fever caused by the Lassa virus, primarily transmitted through contact with infected rodents or their excreta. Early detection and rapid response are crucial for preventing widespread outbreaks and reducing mortality rates. Our AI-powered system helps identify potential outbreaks before they become widespread, enabling timely intervention and resource allocation.
