Replying to @seyeabimbola
Global health has always been about own careers than doing global good. If good has happened it is a side effect. Hierarchy, helicopter research, dependency is part of it. I have seen this for 50 years. Global health experts are afraid of self reliance & independence.

Since the #SierraLeone Ethics & Scientific Research Committee didn't approve this study,there is no way to ensure proper informed consent was obtained from d patients whose blood samples were used in this study. Were they aware that their blood would be used 4 research purposes?
