Professor Mike Barrett and Godwin Ebiloma were guests on the BBC Radio Scotland’s John Beattie show on 30 January 2017, where they discussed tropical diseases including some of the 17 neglected tropical diseases (NTDs).

The discussion aimed at creating awareness, and covered issues such as the NTDs, malaria, treatment options, research and challenges, refugees entering the UK with leishmaniasis, and the role of the international community in combating the NTDs. It was also an opportunity for Godwin Ebiloma, who is from Nigeria, to discuss some of these topics from an experiential point of view.
