We just wrapped up our annual health program reviews, which this year took place in Ethiopia. Grateful to our Ethiopian colleagues for hosting us and to our ministry of health and donor partners with whom we collaborate in the fight to #BeatNTDs. Here’s a peek behind the scenes at this year’s event!
#DíaMundialDeChagas | El #Chagas cuenta tan solo con el 0,7% de toda la #inversión en I+D para las enfermedades desatendidas.
Es necesario invertir en nuevas herramientas de diagnóstico y terapéuticas mejor adaptadas.

Why is @bmc.springernature.com so bad at processing manuscripts? You have had mine at BMC_PH since Sept 2024 and after 3 rounds of reviews you still can't make a decision on a very simple study on a highly neglected tropical disease. You are adding to the neglect. Shame on you #tungiasis #BeatNTDs

This #WorldHealthDay, @who.int calls us all to stand with science & at the #OneHealthSummit in Lyon, cities from 5 continents are proving that people, animals and ecosystems are inseparable.
#OneHealth IS NTD control.

Science gives us the power to fight ancient diseases in some of the most remote parts of the globe. With scientific collaboration, life-changing medication, and community-based education, we can end neglected tropical diseases and bring hope for a brighter future.
#WorldHealthDay #BeatNTDs
The image features a purple background with the text "Wishing you a joyful Easter." Below, a message reads, "We stand with communities affected by neglected tropical diseases, because hope should reach everyone." At the bottom, there is an illustration of carrots and Easter eggs. The Uniting to Combat Neglected Tropical Diseases logo is in the top right corner.
Hope is not a luxury. 🌸
This Easter, we stand with 1.45 billion people living with #NTDs and we won’t stop until every community is reached. #BeatNTDs #UniteActEliminate
