About Institut Pasteur de Dakar
The Institut Pasteur de Dakar (IPD) is a century-old, non-profit foundation under Senegalese law, dedicated to advancing public health and well-being in Africa and beyond. Founded in 1924, IPD engages in cutting-edge biomedical research, develops vaccines and diagnostics, provides essential public health services, and trains the next generation of African health professionals. It plays a crucial role in vaccine manufacturing in Africa, being one of the few institutions on the continent producing human vaccines, including the yellow fever vaccine since 1937. IPD also focuses on epidemic intelligence, outbreak response, and surveillance, and is establishing initiatives like the Center for Africa's Resilience to Epidemics (CARE) and DIATROPIX for affordable diagnostics. Its distinctiveness lies in its long-standing legacy, its comprehensive approach to public health challenges, and its commitment to building Africa's health security and autonomy.
