Today is the birthday 🎂 of Carlos Chagas - Brazilian 🇧🇷 biologist, physician, scientist & bacteriologist. Active in public health, he discovered the protozoan Trypanosoma cruzi (named after his friend Oswaldo Cruz) that causes #Chagas disease. #ThisDayinHistory Fiocruz in English




Pleased to meet with UN-Habitat Deputy Executive Director Michal Mlynár. Amidst global challenges, urban areas and their residents play a vital role in stability and prosperity. Looking forward to working with UN-Habitat to drive progress on the 2030 Agenda, especially #SDG11.
