Exciting news‼️   On 27 November, Namibia joined the #EDCTPassociation, making it the 30th African country to do so.   As a member of the association, Namibia will benefit from the existing collaboration between researchers of EDCTP through structures such as the Alumni network. Also, EDCTP will strengthen the research capacity of Namibia to conduct clinical trials. Another benefit will be the support of Namibian researchers (especially the minority) through fellowships.   At the General Assembly (the structure that governs the #EDCTPassociation), Namibia will be represented by Dr Hilma Nangombe and Jacob Angara Sheehama   To know more about how to join the association, follow this link 👉  https://shorturl.at/ZSMsU
