Dear Dr. Ikuemonisan,

Thank you for your comprehensive assessment of the current GBS situation in Nigeria and what needs to be done to improve care. Very insightful and inspirational!

Would you happen to know of any parents who might be willing to share their GBS story publicly? I know they can be sometimes difficult to identify in settings where the cause of the infection in individual cases may not be known.

Sincerely,

Marti
