Our drivers ensure that clinicians are where they need to be, when they need to be there. 🚙 Mr. Yaya Keita has worked with the first #PregnAnZI 1 and now works with the on-going #PregnAnZI 2. His tireless efforts help the project run smoothly 24/7 at the #Gambia site! 👍👍👍

#Informedconsent is a critical aspect of conducting clinical trials; participants have the right to understand the trial and choose to participate or not. Our fieldworkers use 5+ languages each day to explain trial procedures so that each participant is informed about #PregnAnZI
