| Panos Fellow Brian Ligomeka wins Stop TB Award |

 Panos GAP is proud to announce the first place winner of the Stop TB Partnership's Award for Excellence in Reporting on Tuberculosis 2008: Brian Ligomeka of Malawi. Brian was awarded the Panos/ Stop -TB Media Fellowship in the year 2005. Commenting on his Award, he had this to say, "While I am being recognised for being a professional health journalist, it should be known that many players assisted in one way or the other in accomplishing this feat.

Panos has been working to enhance coverage of TB in the media since 2000. ...More» |

I hope to cover TB more from now on." ...More» |
