Speaking on behalf of the CEO of @CEPIvaccines, Dr @DrRHatchett, Programme Lead @katrin_ram recalled that the last #LIC2019, organised by @NCDCgov in Abuja, Nigeria, marked the starting point for CEPI’s engagement in West Africa. Since then, CEPI has continued to support multiple vaccine candidates across the region, which have shown significant progress.

Keynote presentation by @WALETOM, a distinguished virologist and academic and in his usual style of saying it as it is, reflected on discussions since the first #LIC2019 in #Abuja. He noted that while progress has been made such as the #Enable study, much more remains to be done, requiring stronger political will and financial commitment. #ELFIC2025

Great opening to #ELFIC2025 in Abidjan, six years after #LIC2019, as Nigeria’s Coordinating Minister for Health and Social Welfare @muhammadpate stressed that tackling Lassa fever requires “actionable steps, investment in research, diagnostics & vaccines, and a united regional response.” Day 1 of the second #ELFIC2025 conference, hosted by @OoasWaho, set the stage for stronger collaboration across the region. @Fmohnigeria

In Jan 2019, the Lassa fever International Conference #LIC2019 marked 50 yrs since #Lassafever was first discovered in #Nigeria. The question asked then,"Are we rising to the challenge?" This question remains, especially as #Nigeria is battling #cholera outbreaks and #COVID19.

LASSA FEVER OUTBREAKS We continue to detect more cases of #Lassafever given increased awareness, improved surveillance and laboratory capacity. However, the number of deaths from #Lassafever and the number of health care worker infections has reduced. #goodnews #LIC2019
