🧪 #CRP testing for TB contacts: fingerprick = serum ✅
1,034 contacts studied using #LumiraDx: strong agreement, 77% sensitivity at WHO cutoff, serum storage 80°C didn’t affect results ❄️

Today is World TB Day, highlighting the need for urgent efforts to eliminate tuberculosis (TB). With over 10 million cases in 2023, many are unaware of symptoms. Early detection, treatment, and community support are key to a TB-free world. Let's act now! #WorldTBDay2025
I discussed the benefits of global collaborations as demonstrated in @preFIT_ consortium.

The DRC is reporting a rapidly escalating Mpox outbreak with 4,919 cases and 311 deaths since the beginning of 2024. 70% of the deaths are among children.
Do U have ideas that can help address this challenge? The @EDCTP3 have the funds you need!

What a time to be alive!! Incredible to have R21 malaria vaccine recommended by WHO... another vital tool in the fight to eradicate malaria #VaccinesWork #MalariaVaccine
Today is a great day for health, a great day for science, and a great day for vaccines:
@WHO is recommending a second vaccine to prevent #malaria in children at risk of the disease, called R21/Matrix-M.
Demand for the RTS,S vaccine far exceeds supply, so the R21 vaccine is a vital additional tool to protect more children faster, and to bring us closer to our vision of a malaria-free world
