The FIND Board further approved the reappointment of Dr Ayoade Alakija as FIND Board Chair for a further term. 

“At a time of extremely difficult headwinds for global health, where we’re seeing progress backslide in real time, I continue to be committed to the critical mission of FIND to accelerate access to and innovation for diagnostics for everyone, everywhere,” said Dr Ayoade Alakija, Chair of the Board. “I am honoured to both serve the organization and people in low- and middle-income countries around the world, and to be joined by esteemed leaders from the private and public sector to redouble our efforts towards global health security and health for all.

Professor Marcel Tanner added, “Dr Alakija’s exceptional leadership over the last couple of years has been critical to guiding FIND through these challenging times. We as a Board welcome Thomas Cueni into our midst  as together under Dr Alakija’s leadership, we can execute on our mission to drive diagnostic innovation and access.”
