So glad to meet in Geneva with Dr Mohammed Yasin (@Muheyassin), Senior Global Health TB Advisor. Conversed on strengthening TB Research and Innovation via #TRAC mechanisms and @AHRI_ETH

@afeworkkassu@AHRI_ETH@butajira It was a pleasure to meet and catch up with you, Prof. Afework! I look forward to further collaborate with you/AHRI, TRAC and the NTP in ending TB. I am grateful to AHRI and Dr Abraham's support when I was working in Butajira, Hawassa/SNNPR and LSTM/UK.
TB kills more than 3,000 daily. Driven by poverty, climate change, conflict & inequity. But we know how to end it. Since 2002, @GlobalFund has invested more than US$9.7B to fight TB, saving more than 20M lives. Now is the time to bring testing, treatment & care to all.
