Ethiopia hosts African trypanosomiasis special donor conference
The Head of FIND’s human African trypanosomiasis (HAT)
Diagnostics Programme, Dr. Joseph Ndung’u, attended a special donors’ conference dedicated
to the Pan African Tsetse and Trypanosomiasis Eradication Campaign (PATTEC) on 2 February 2007,
at the United Nations Conference Centre in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. The primary objectives
of the conference, which brought together African Ministers, heads of development organizations
and senior officials in charge of tsetse and trypanosomiasis control in countries affected
by the disease, were to enable participants to make presentations on the impact of the disease
in each country, share ideas and report on what actions governments are taking or planning
to carry out to address the disease.
