I am deeply honoured with this award that reflects more than 30 years of effort to eliminate human sleeping sickness from Sub Saharan Africa, one of the most serious of the neglected tropical diseases. This effort has involved more than 65 postgraduate students from both the University of Edinburgh and Makerere University, Uganda and has shown the clear value of One Health Practice, embracing a holistic approach to zoonotic disease elimination.’
Professor Susan Welburn OBE, Professor of Medical and Veterinary Molecular Epidemiology
