New travel award for clinicians from LMICs to support attendance at ASTMH’s annual meeting #TropMed24

#WorldImmunizationWeek - a great time to reflect on the importance of vaccines

HypoVax Global lead Abena S. Amoah, PhD 👩🏾‍💻👩🏾‍🔬 gave a presentation on the “The art of global networking to share population data” as part of a workshop on “Designing Innovative Global Solutions”

Advancing global health research through strong international collaborations built on trust and mutual respect is one of our core values

154 million deaths averted due to vaccinations since the introduction of the WHO’s Expanded Programme on Immunization in 1974.

As part of the two day session, I got to share HypoVax Global’s goals and objectives and also hear about the the great work being done WACCBIP and Noguchi Memorial Institute for Medical Research. During the working session I also got to learn about other Universiteit Leiden initiatives with African academic partners
