Thanks to @AmericanLeprosy support, we were able to attend and present how harmonization of diagnostic throughout laboratories in Africa could be a new strategy to transform lab medecine taking an example for skinNTDs.@RaoulFollereau @Anesvad

Here we are in ACCRA !with a rich participant list member of laboratories, diseases experts, partners... We expect to realize our vision of getting other Skin NTD on board and develop a clear road map for the transition from BU-LABNET to SKIN NTD LABNET.

The FIRST FIELD TEST for #Buruli ulcer (BU) with assays from @Mfrimpong @KCCR_GH & @BiomemeInc qPCR machine happened this week! In Songololo, DR Congo, ALM's @Chaitanya_VS used the Biomeme process (<50 minutes) to diagnose two children, who could then start treatment. #beatNTDs

For the last 20 years, @DNDi has continued to discover, develop & deliver new treatments to neglected patients. There is still a lot to be done.
We are proud of the work that @ProfAHFahal & the @MycetomaRC are doing to alleviate the suffering of #mycetoma patients. #BeatNTDs

The Buruli ulcer laboratory network @BU_LabNet is a network of 13 laboratoires in 9 countries in @WHOAFRO committed to improving the molecular diagnosis of Buruli ulcer. With the vision of integrating other #skinNTD in the same plateform (#YAWS,#MYCETOMA, #LEISHMANIASIS)
