In addition to the presence of senior Guinean executives, the presence of representatives from WHO, DNDi, FIND, ISSMV, Institut Pasteur and IRD underlines the interest and the close links that exist between the PNLTHA and the main global players working on elimination of this disease in Africa. Mamadou Camara, coordinator of the program, was able to highlight the constant drop in the number of cases detected since 2016, which makes it possible to consider the validation of the elimination file as a public health problem for Trypano by 2023. Future Post-elimination strategies have also been proposed, in particular by the entomological team in charge of anti-vector control. At the same time, the start of a clinical trial on acoziborole, a new single oral molecule, opens up exciting prospects which suggests that the goal of "zero transmission" will be a reality in Guinea by 2030.
