Kenya and Wellcome Trust, an international charitable organisation dedicated to improving health through research, have had a 60-year partnership that has been mutually beneficial.
The organisation works with Kenya Medical Research Institute (KEMRI) in a programme that focuses on fighting malaria, pneumonia, meningitis, HIV and malnutrition.
Met Dr @JuliaGillard, the chair of Wellcome Trust and former Prime Minister of Australia, State House, Nairobi. She is in Kenya for the celebration of 60 years of Kenya-Wellcome Trust partnership.

We at @wellcometrust have joined many UK science organisations in signing a letter to the chancellor ahead of the budget at the end of the month. It is crucial that the UK has stable, predictable investment in R&D, not wasteful stop-start funding. ft.com/content/fc00e578-f45c… via @ft

Global leaders approved a political declaration on AMR at #UNGA79.
Now, we must not lose momentum.
We need to translate these commitments into:
🟢 more urgent action on AMR across all sectors,
🟢 better evidence to guide action, and
🟢 stronger accountability to drive progress.
ALT John-Arne Røttingen, Chief Executive Officer for Wellcome, says: "This marks the end of a political process, but we must see it as the start of a new phase in the global response to AMR."

How can the world do better to use existing evidence to accelerate progress towards the SDGs?
The Wellcome Trust's vision is a healthier future for everyone. We believe science is at the heart of achieving this, but science alone is not enough.

Lord Darzi's review is a powerful reflection of the state of the NHS.
Among this, he highlights that research and innovation have not been a high enough priority in the NHS.
