Wasnโ€™t planning on an all-nighter, but helping Yumna Moosa polish her brilliant PhD thesis on host, genomic and geospatial insights into transmission of Mtb in rural KZN before tomorrowโ€™s submission is an honor and a privilege. Thank goodness Iโ€™m still kind of jet lagged! ๐Ÿ˜ตโ€๐Ÿ’ซ

Writing from SA-the heart of Global South medicine access struggles. I have done this work since 1996. Believe me when I say to donors & leadership of MSF International -in Global North-this will be the single most disastrous decision MSF will have to live with. Reverse Course. Not too late๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿฟ
