For years, mycetoma left Banchayehu from Ethiopia with a heavily swollen foot, unable to wear shoes or care for her 3 kids. After finding treatment at Boru Meda Hospital, she's reclaimed her life. Her journey reminds us why we advocate for early diagnosis & health equity.

Global health is high on the agenda at #WHA79, and voices like Dr @moniquewasunna.bsky.social's remind us what progress really looks like.
We join forces with @gardp.bsky.social & @mmv.org to accelerate drug development for patients in greatest need!
Emma Hannay, Chief Strategy Officer at MMV, explains why this collaboration is especially important in this changing global health ecosystem.

Finding new treatments for #Chagas disease is urgent. This study screened over 2,400 compounds and identified promising candidates, using approaches like cell painting to understand how they act against T. cruzi. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
As global health budgets shrink, three Geneva-based non-profit R&D groups — @dndi.org, @gardp.bsky.social. & @mmv.org — are joining forces to accelerate lifesaving medicines for malaria, NCDs & antimicrobial resistance.
