2 / This is what partnership delivers. EMA’s approval of fexinidazole was made possible by dozens of partners around the world + especially work of Congolese researchers and clinical trial participants @DNDi, @JoanneLiu_MSF @MSFsci @sanofi @MinSanteRDC https://t.co/PAFIqbmBCC

1/ This is what progress looks like. For the first time, we have a safe + effective oral treatment for trypanosomiasis, a disease that once killed hundreds of thousands and rendered many areas of central Africa uninhabitable. https://t.co/feNyu71VHR
