People often ask me why I do this job. Because of days like today. Meeting incredibly dedicated partners and determining mutually beneficial ways to improve health security in 🇵🇰. Exciting times ahead in Azad Jammu and Kashmir #ihr_strengthening

Great to be back with the #IHR_Strengthening project team in #Pakistan this week, with @UKgovGHS colleagues. Fruitful meetings with @NIH_Pakistan and MoH discussing the great progress made over the last 6 years and looking forward to ongoing collaboration over the next 3 years.

What a great 10days meeting again with our #ihr_strengthening Pakistan team and friends and colleagues from @nih_Pakistan and MNHSR&C. It has been too long! We are definitely stronger together as we share and learn together.
