| May / June 2022 | Fogarty and seven partner NIH institutes and centers request input on approaches NIH might take to promote greater equity in global health research conducted in low- and middle- income countries. Submit comments by August 1, 2022. | Resistant pathogens end more lives than HIV/AIDS and malaria. While no nation is immune to AMR, low- and middle-income countriesâhome to nearly 85% of the worldâs populationâshoulder the highest burden. | WHO estimates an additional 18 million health workers are needed globally by 2030. Since 1989, Fogarty has trained more than 7,500 individuals from over 130 countries as part of our mission to build research capacity in low- and middle-income countries. | At the annual meeting of the Adolescent HIV Prevention and Treatment Implementation Science Alliance, Drs. Linda-Gail Bekker and Elvin Geng spoke about tailoring HIV interventions to the needs of adolescent populations and considering the context of those interventions. | Seeing the impact sickle cell disease had on many Tanzanians, former Fogarty Fellow Dr. Siana Nkya chose to research the genetic factors that influence fetal hemoglobin levels and the correlation with severity of the disease. |
