🫁 The Department of Medical Microbiology & Immunology, Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Nairobi, is proud to participate in the inaugural JIRANI Symposium on Tuberculosis 2026 – “Shared Burden, Shared Response.”
Held in collaboration with Ifakara Health Institute (Tanzania), Makerere University (Uganda), this regional scientific forum brings together researchers, clinicians, National TB Programme leaders, policymakers, and students from across East Africa and the global TB community to advance the fight against tuberculosis.
The name Jirani, Kiswahili for neighbour, reflects the spirit of this symposium: TB knows no borders, and our scientific collaborations, partnerships, and collective response must transcend them.
We are especially honoured that our Department Chair, Prof. David Odongo, and Lecturer, Dr. Winnie Mutai, will serve as session chairs, guiding critical discussions on the future of TB prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and research.
