WHO discussion: Who can help us close the knowledge gaps?

[crossley]

Please share your feedback on this group discussion by replying in this thread. Your contributions are important as we aim to identify gaps in knowledge, pinpoint collaborators who can help us bridge these gaps, and explore how sustainable collaboration within the ARCANI network can address these issues. We will incorporate the thoughts and opinions expressed here into a white paper focused on these critical questions.
