DREAMM is, to our knowledge, the first multi-centre implementation science project on HIV-related CNS infection in resource limited settings in Africa.
Using the pragmatic and holistic DREAMM approach, 75% had a confirmed diagnosis. Overall, cryptococcal meningitis was the leading cause of HIV-related central nervous infection. #EndAIDSdeaths#EDCTP#ANRS#InstitutPasteur#SGUL

Huge thanks to Lisa Jones (@LisaEllenJones) and Lilia Sebouai (@liliasebouai) who made this happen and got the message out that 100,000s of lives can be saved by Africa-led health system strengthening.

The exciting news continues this week with the launch of our new website! Check out https://t.co/jUfQ7NTfQe to discover more about what we did & our plans for the future, as well as lots of useful resources, including the DREAMM Training Modules.
We are thrilled to announce the publication of our DREAMM headline results in @TheLancetHIV, showing a short-term mortality reduction from #HIV-related meningitis of almost 50%! Read the results here: https://t.co/YLX0Qurb3o #EndCryptoDeaths
"Excellence in delivery of health care together with humanitarian values underpin our vision of #Africa-led health care, which is truly the future for the continent."
"4 decades into the epidemic, systemic change is required to end HIV-related deaths. The health system deficiencies identified within the DREAMM observation phase do not only affect HIV-related deaths, but also the success of numerous other programmes" https://t.co/INeoMzpILq
Another important Comment in @TheLancet Global Health from the Malawian DREAMM Team (Dr Kanyam, Prof Phiri, Dr Matola, @Anamajengo) & DREAMM Chief Investigator @AngelaLoyse.
DREAMM ‘illustrates that with a pragmatic set of interventions conceived, operationalised, & evaluated in equitable partnership w/ local leadership it is possible to realise the promise of new evidence in routine care settings.’ @graemein & @dmeya in https://t.co/ssLdBNQWfs
