I look forward to the adoption, piloting, and subsequent rollout of the framework on the Continent. Implementing Pooled Procurement of Pharma, anchored on #AfCFTA and #PMPA brings cost savings and improved access to locally manufactured quality products.

I am prod to have pen down this thought provoking leadership on addressing lab systems in Africa. Collective approach towards systems thinking is critical.

Although testing efforts have detected over 1.3 million cases of COVID-19 across Africa, experts agree that limited testing capacity has masked the full extent of disease spread and hampered control efforts, writes @Farouk2204 of @USPharmacopeia. https://t.co/oGiTdoDgZb

This is rather disappointing. I wonder why scientists manipulate data to fit funding outcomes instead of contribution to science

[The Lancet @TheLancet]

As African countries work to scale up testing for COVID-19, USP’s @Farouk2204 discusses how countries can do so while sustainably strengthening their health systems in the long term. Read the article in latest issue of @AfrJLabMed #COVID19 #HealthSystems https://t.co/PT5UXej7aT

How can Africa countries scale up testing in response to COVID-19 pandemic while building on the existing health systems. See my reflections in this journal article.

@nicolashaque This is rather unfortunate situation. I hope all of us exercise restraint and listen to our experts. COVID-19 is not a religious issue, it is public health and we must all listen to experts and religious scholars
