We are starting off strong in #Mayuge district of #Uganda with a #WickedSchisto stakeholder engagement meeting.
We believe collaborating 🫱🏼🫲🏾 w/ all stakeholders at the national, district and local levels can lead to sustainable change in #WASH interventions for #schistosomiasis. 🪱🧪
At the ongoing European Congress on Tropical Medicine and International Health conference, Dr Osakunor, a Newton Intl Fellow at the #LambertonLab shared about our #capability study on #schistosomiasis.
This is a game changer for how we measure health outcomes for #schisto interventions.
