🌍 African women & girls bear the brunt of Female Genital Schistosomiasis (FGS). Despite its impact, FGS remains underreported, misdiagnosed, & untreated. It's time to bring FGS to the forefront! Read more here 👉 bit.ly/3TtQebd #BeatNTDs AfroAchiever
This is an incredible achievement! 🎊 Congratulations to Ministry of HealthZW and all partners involved🎉 #Zimbabwe strides towards elimination of #trachoma! Together we can #BeatNTDs 💪 Sightsavers Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance ELMA Philanthropies Gates Foundation x.com/Sightsavers_Po…
90% of the global schistosomiasis burden falls on Africa, where FGS affects the same populations hit hardest by HIV & cervical cancer. This disease must not be ignored—it's a matter of health equity for marginalized women & girls👉 bit.ly/3TtQebd #BeatNTDs AfroAchiever
Post-COVID-19, as health priorities shift, we risk pushing #FGS further down the list. To truly eliminate #NTDs and meet SDG targets, we must integrate FGS prevention & treatment into health systems. Let’s not leave FGS behind👉 bit.ly/3TtQebd #BeatNTDs AfroAchiever
