"There hasn’t been an equitable supply of tools to fight the pandemic, despite the sincere efforts of many people. We’ve talked a lot about vaccines, but many countries have lacked adequate access to diagnostics, therapeutics, PPE, & even oxygen." @HelenClarkNZ

Nations know they need to collaborate on international health...but they don't. Writing in @bmj_latest @peter_friberg @DavidRossHarper & I analyze how this is detrimental to @WHO and efforts to fight #COVID19. Another reason to decolonize global health. bmj.com/content/372/bmj.n180

I like to visit Lagos. There is an incredible vibe in people here that spells out #keeppushing. Today, I visited the Lagos campus of our National Reference Lab, LUTH virology lab and the recently established BSL 3 lab supported by @Canada

We must focus more on building sustainable labs in low resource context. This partnership between the Government of Nigeria & @Canada holds huge prospects. Top of my agenda today was how to ensure optimum value for, and scientific leadership by Nigeria! Cc @HCCanNigeria
