Last week, @swisstph.ch Director Jürg Utzinger and I visited our long-term partner, the Papua New Guinea Institute of Medical Research #PNGIMR. We renewed our MoU, met inspiring Swiss TPH / @unibas.ch alumni, and explored new research directions. A productive and truly inspiring visit to #PNG!

Institutions like RBM Partnership and @who.int are essential and they need our support as much as we need theirs! @swisstph.ch
