๐ Is a world without sleeping sickness possible? We believe so! The @EDCTP-funded StrogHAT project is taking us one step closer by bringing acoziboroleโa revolutionary single-dose oral treatmentโto those who need it most. This game-changer is paving the way to interrupt HAT transmission by 2030, aligning with World Health Organization's goals. Letโs make sleeping sickness history! ๐ช #WorldNTDDay #sleepingsickness ๐ ๐ค @inrb_kinshasa, Programme National de Lutte contre Trypanosomiase Humaine Africaine (DRC), Institut de Recherche pour le Dรฉveloppement (France), and @DNDi.
