Huge congratulations to Scientific Leader and Botswana Harvard Health Partnership (BHP) Scientific Director Professor Sikhulile Moyo, and Programme Director and Director for Basic and Translational Science at the Africa Health Research Institute (AHRI) Professor Thumbi Ndung'u, on their appointments to The Lancet International Advisory Board!

The Board brings together global leaders in health and science to provide strategic guidance on the direction, priorities and global relevance of The Lancet - one of the world’s most influential medical journals.

Having African scientists at this table ensures perspectives from the continent shape global health agendas, research priorities and policy conversations. Representation here strengthens equity in science and amplifies evidence rooted in African contexts.
