Africa needs new leadership. Leadership that actually SHOWS UP. Leadership that is vibrant, dynamic, forward thinking and see’s the opportunities that lie within & externally. 1.4 Billion of us. We can’t afford to keep recycling our grandpas for political expediency. #YesSheCan

#WHS2024, it was a pleasure to have a stand-up meeting with colleagues from @DNDi, Prof Sam Kariuki @EADirectorDNDi and @caiothithanh External Relations Director. DNDI is a longstanding and valued partner of @FIND. @FIND in pursuing its mission of #DiagnosisForAll considers the diagnostic gap for #NTDs an important component of its strategic outlook. And we remain keen to align our diagnostics work with therapeutics and access efforts by DNDi and others working in that space.
