The @UMCUtrecht, @RIVM and @Nivel_research are proud partners within the new EU PROMISE network which will focus on RS virus spread patterns. It will also monitor effects of interventions that help to defend against #RSV (such as vaccination) bit.ly/3k2XiJP @BontLouis

The RSV GOLD team wishes Dr Rasooly and his team at Balkh Regional Hospital in Mazar-i-Sharif strength in this heartbreaking situation. Our thoughts go out to all Afghan people affected during this difficult time.
