Interesting lecture "From Data to Action: Empowering Health" organized by Centre for Epidemic Response & Innovation (CERI) showed how Geospatial research was applied in the Malaria field. They showed impressive results using the Revels platform, and we envision how it could be applied for #tuberculosis research.

Thanks for sharing it Dr Justice T. NGOM 🧬🦠🧫🧪🔬 !
