With support from the World Health Organization we’re developing a sequencing module: after hosting a hands-on training in Brussels, our team completed the first sequencing runs in Bukavu in September, an exciting step as we expand our activities.
We are honored to have Nobel Peace Prize Dr. Denis Mukwege from the Fonds Dr Denis Mukwege – Hôpital Panzi as our honorary patron, whose commitment to health and human dignity inspires our mission.
We’d like to thank I3h Institute for their support. Hilde Stevens, Caroline Van Swieten, and Nora Cheikh have been a great help, and we’ve appreciated the opportunity to collaborate and to strengthen the connection between our organisations
