Madagascar Medical Expeditions is a project founded by Dr Stephen Spencer, in which a team of medical students from the University of Manchester and doctors study, educate and treat children living with the parasitic disease schistosomiasis in Madagascar.
Madex is an organisation set up by students which runs yearly expeditions to research and treat Schistosomiasis in remote Madagascar. The team works in the Marolambo region, which lies along the Nosivolo River. Schistosomaisis is a parasitic disease with a huge social and economic burden. Works closely with Durrell Organisation.
