Moderated by Akhona Tshangela from Africa CDC, this afternoon’s parallel session at #CPHIA2023 saw Dr Thomas Nyirenda from EDCTP explain how partnerships can help strengthen end-to-end #research and #development of health technologies 💉🏥

Honoured to have been able to moderate this space on African women leadership. Humbled by the women who openly shared their stories today on the injustices faced in the workplace and society as African women. Brilliant end to day 1 of #WLHGC2024 . Asante.

As 2023 draws to a close, I am overwhelmed with gratitude for the incredible support I've received throughout this year. To each person who has been a pillar of strength, whether through loud cheers or quiet encouragement, thank you for being a blessing . Akhona Tshangela

What an emotionally resonant, candid, and welcoming panel and audience as we share our personal journeys which have been a blend of triumphs and obstacles, with each hurdle serving as a springboard for growth.

A pleasure to have attended the #Under30Africa summit. Left re-energized, knowing Africa has galvanised young leaders, esp young women leaders, into action for the betterment of themselves, families and the continent & being inspired by those who have taken a similar path prior.
