After-defense celebration for Dr. Joshua Ntajal and Dr. Yasobant Sandul

After having defended their doctoral theses in Covid-19-induced digital mode, two of our former BIGS-DR and One Health students, Joshua Ntajal (Ghana) and Yasobant Sandul (India) received in-person congratulations at ZEF on their doctoral degrees.

Yasobant, now based in Ahmedabad, was back for a work-visit to ZEF where he gave a public lecture on "Multi-sectoral collaborations for routine health services during COVID19 pandemic in Ahmedabad, India: Preliminary findings from CoV Intersect project" (video-recording to be published soon):
