🌍 Is a world without sleeping sickness possible? We believe so! The @EDCTP-funded StrogHAT project is taking us one step closer by bringing acoziborole—a revolutionary single-dose oral treatment—to those who need it most. This game-changer is paving the way to interrupt HAT transmission by 2030, aligning with World Health Organization's goals. Let’s make sleeping sickness history! 💪 #WorldNTDDay #sleepingsickness
