GMFK is delighted and deeply honoured to learn that Professor Francine Ntoumi, Director of the Congolese Foundation for Medical Research (FCRM) and one of GMFK’s principal partners, has received the prestigious Emma Rossi International Award.

This distinction recognises her outstanding commitment to scientific research, public health, and the strengthening of research capacity in Africa. It also honours a remarkable individual whose vision, dedication, and human engagement reach far beyond the scientific community.

We extend our warmest congratulations to Professor Ntoumi and are proud to continue, together with her and the FCRM, a partnership built on trust, shared knowledge, and common purpose.
