Read this inspiring piece in EL PAÍS about my journey as a researcher in #NTDs with a keen interest in clinical trials for #leishmaniasis .

visceral leishmaniasis is the second largest parasitic killer after malaria, with 20,000-30,000 deaths every year. bit.ly/3JdaqIv

Climate change isn't just an environmental issue; it's a health crisis.

Rising temperatures, erratic rainfall, & shifting humidity are fueling the spread of #NTDs into new areas, undoing years of progress.

Warm welcome from the Arba Minch University College of Medicine and Health Sciences and The Collaborative Research & Training Center for NTDs teams. Quite insightful to see the significant work they’re conducting in R&D for #NTDs and looking forward to the collaboration in #Mycetoma

This week DNDi team members have been in Ethiopia 🇪🇹 in preparation for #mycetoma epidemiology studies, visiting endemic regions to meet people affected and identifying potential research facilities. #beatNTDs

#Mycetoma isn’t a notifiable disease in most countries and surveillance systems are limited. Wosen Ketema & team at BoruMeda Hospital in Dessie, Ethiopia are committed to identify and treat patients preventing amputation as a last resort to late presentation of advanced disease #NTDs

As we plan and prepare for the #Mycetoma epidemiology studies we have had a great chance with Prof. Wendemagegn Enbiale to visit our partners in Ethiopia starting with Bahir Dar in Amhara region. #NTDs

Great collaboration by the Global Mycetoma Working Group that proposes an enhanced mycetoma-control roadmap to meet the #SDGs , stimulate progress and improve the lives of patients experiencing #mycetoma #NTDs academic.oup.com/trstmh/advance… Professor Ahmed Hassan Fahal Kingsley Asiedu @dndi World Health Organization (WHO)

#Mycetoma epidemiological studies are essential to fill knowledge gaps around the burden, distribution, characteristics of patient population and etiology of disease. We had a stimulating virtual meeting with our India Investigators as we discussed planned studies in India. #NTDs

'It is my passion to ensure that we are not neglecting a particular population in research or development just because they cannot afford the drugs that we make.'

Societal & cultural expectations can stifle women’s ascendancy in #STEM careers. These challenges can be addressed by empowering them.

I had the pleasure today of presenting on #Mycetoma at the Kenya Council of Governors Quarterly Review Meeting with County Directors of Health. Health cooperation work can lead to a stable improvement in the population’s health, optimizing existing health capacities #NTDs #IWD

Today is #InternationalWomensDay !

We believe best science must be for everyone. But despite being disproportionately affected by neglected diseases #NTDs , women are often under-represented in research – as participants and scientific leaders. 👩‍🔬

Let’s #InvestInWomen . #IWD2024

Effective communication is vital for you as a leader, your word is your bond
