Looking forward to delivering a workshop tomorrow with Dr. Kaushik Sarkar At Sustainability Research + Innovation Congress 2024 on AI-based Decision Support and Early Warning Systems to Strengthen Health Adaptation and Response to Climate Change: From Ideation to Implementation.

Modelling and Simulation Hub, Africa (MASHA). at UCT will be hosting a short course on the application of mathematical modelling and computer simulation to predict the dynamics of infectious diseases to evaluate the potential impact of policy in reducing morbidity and mortality.

So on point! Challenges still faced by so many

Very honoured to receive this award and share it with Johan Rockström affirming the vital role of holistic & systemic analysis of health and health systems, to support action for social justice. That’s the lens of #hpsr - and it is crucial. Massive thanks to all from whom I learn!

Modelling and Simulation Hub, Africa (MASHA). at UCT recently hosted a short course on the Mathematical Modelling of Infectious Disease (MMID) from 12-22 August 2024.

Excited to introduce the 3rd cohort of the Nigeria Malaria Modelling Fellowship! With support from Gates Foundation and in partnership with @nmepnigeria and NCDC, our fellows are diving into hands-on training in infectious disease modelling. #MalariaFreeNigeria

Into a third cohort now, with amazing contingents of policy-facing modellers-in-training across three simultaneously running groups. It has been a lot of hard work, but it has been rewarding to see the small steps and the ensuing progress for our trainees. We will #KeepPushing

A gender-focused approach is key in the fight against #malaria. Looking forward to having this conversation on the sidelines of #UNGA.
