COVID-19 research in Somalia: Achievements and opportunities
While the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has been well documented and researched in high-income countries, much less is known about its impact in Somalia where health systems are weak. This event will highlight examples of locally-led COVID-19 research and present an opportunity to discuss outstanding research gaps.
