It's #WorldChagasDiseaseDay
#ChagasDisease  has the most disproportionate impact among Latin America's poorest communities but it is increasingly detected elsewhere. With an estimated 6-7M people infected globally & high mortality it is a significant public health threat.

The launch of WINS, Women In Neglected Tropical Diseases, initiative marks a new female-led chapter in the fight against #NTDs ! Aiming to ensure women, who are often disproportionately affected, are involved in scientific research & health policies to end NTDs. #NotoNTDs

Succinctly put by Dr Socé Fall - DrMed, PhD, FFPH

#MyHealthMyRight

Today, on World Health Day, let’s amplify the fight against #NTDs . Everyone deserves the right to health, no matter where they are. Together, we can make a difference. Support, awareness, and action are our tools. #WorldHealthDay #EndNTDs #MyHealthMyRight '

My Health, My Right is the theme of #WorldHealthDay this year. Given this call to action, without addressing #NTDs & by ignoring the health & rights of over 1.6 billion, the most vulnerable communities will continue to suffer. To address #ntds is to ensure #HealthforAll
