Thank you to Jeremy Farrar Prof Peter Hotez MD PhD Fidel Strub Mulikat Okanlawon for keeping up the fight!

Standing on the shoulders of many giants today…predominantly people affected by #NTDs and #mentalhealth conditions to launch our supplement with Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene. A privilege to work with Julian Eaton and many others on consolidating this important knowledge base! LSTM

Great session today on mental health, stigma & NTDs with some great speakers & perspectives from people with lived experience of NTDs. Rates of Ill mental health are higher among people living with NTDs compared to the general population. #BeatNTDs

We believe in a future free of preventable diseases. That’s why we’re delighted to confirm a new US$15m investment to Global Institute for Disease Elimination supporting efforts to combat disease, scale capacity and innovation, and help build a more equitable world. Read more: tinyurl.com/43pft9za

The World Health Organization (WHO) #NTDRoadmap2030 and Eastern African countries are laying out plans to sustainably eliminate visceral #leishmaniasis . If proven to be effective, LXE408 could contribute to these elimination goals. #NTDs

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

'Together we can overcome these diseases of poverty and build a world where everyone, regardless of where they live, has the opportunity to lead healthy and productive lives.'

#MyHealthMyRight and not a privilege for few.
