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. #ECTMIH2025

I'm thankful for the opportunity to represent @swisstph.ch at #InCORNTD in Rwanda this week and present findings from our #SchistoBreak study on the characteristics of #schistosomiasis #hotspots. 🪱🧪

Check out our lab account! We are introducing ourselves in the coming days. 💡

Stark!
