All the acronyms!!! TIBA stands for Tackling Infections to Benefit Africa. It is also the Swahili word for “to cure infection”. And AGM, well that’s a more common one, no need for explanations there. So, it was time for TIBA’s first annual general meeting. The venue was Durban, South Africa, one of the nine TIBA partner countries. The University of Kwazulu-Natal had been preparing for the meeting for some time. This was quite an undertaking with contributors coming from far afield.

TIBA would be hosting its first Annual General Meeting in Durban, South Africa on May 29-31. This meeting will bring together all investigators from the ten partner countries as well as stakeholders and associates. This will be a crucial meeting for deciding on how to progress the rest of the TIBA project. Professor Moses Chimbari (TIBA Co-Deputy Ddirector) and the TIBA South African team will be hosting this event.
