This panel will feature NYU’s ACHIEVE Training Program visiting scholars. These three experts will present their pilot research projects and innovative approaches to enhance cancer screening among women living with HIV/AIDs, improve assessments and diagnoses of infectious diseases among children, and leverage mHealth to improve service delivery for HIV-exposed infants.
Please join us for these important presentations that showcase the critical work being done to save lives and shape the future of health outcomes in sub-Saharan Africa. The event will conclude with a question and answer session moderated by NYU McSilver Faculty Director Dr. Fred M. Ssewamala.
