2. Measles research impacts
3. Dengue public health response

Research is not about publishing a paper in a year or ticking a box for your institution. This is using research to inform health departments and make an impact.
Questions for our country.

@PaedSurg speaking about who is research for? #DFTB22 Image
It starts with one. Like tattoos. Many people have one or two published papers. Few stop at three…
