For us, it encompasses our local staff, decades of on-the-ground experience, strong working relationships with stakeholders of all types, cultural competence and a commitment to the region and its people. Because of this, we’re ready to respond at a moment’s notice to implement locally adapted and staffed studies in sub-Saharan Africa that produce high-quality research.

Tuberculosis (TB): The Silent “Pandemic” The World Has Forgotten
Presenter: Sanchia Theron, Global Head, Medical Affairs
Location: Level 2, Room 6
Tuberculosis (TB) is second only to COVID-19 among the infectious disease-related mortality rates worldwide. The need for effective, safe TB vaccines and treatments remains a global health priority, especially in the midst of increasing cases of multidrug-resistant TB (MDR-TB). In this presentation, Sanchia Theron will discuss the progress that the health and research community has made so far in addressing TB and reaching the goals of the End TB Strategy. Based on FHI Clinical’s experience with TB research, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa, the discussion will also include strategies to overcome research challenges presented by hard-to-reach populations, MDR-TB and established and emerging policies for TB preventive treatment (TPT).
