What is Professor Salim Abdool Karim’s new job? The Council was established earlier in April, to help guide WHO’s research. The nine-member team comprises of internationally renowned experts from around the world – and Professor Karim is proudly flying the flag for South Africa. “I am looking forward to participating in this council providing scientific advice to WHO on future developments in health that the world needs to be better prepared for. Pandemics such as Aids and COVID-19 have highlighted the important role of science in global health.” | Professor Salim Abdool Karim ‘A victory for SA’s health professionals’ – Glenda Gray
