The HAT MEPP team are currently catching up with colleagues, both old and new, at the 36th General Conference of the International Scientific Council for Trypanosomiasis Research and Control (ISCTRC) in Mombasa, Kenya. We were thrilled to see the teams work being showcased by Shampa Chansy and Minayegninrin Koné from the national sleeping sickness programmes of the DRC and Côte d'Ivoire. Excellent presentations done by all!
