The world has gone from 3.5 million cases of Guinea worm among people to just 10 cases in 40 years. This is a reason for celebration and for caution, not to give up on reaching full eradication, highlights Kashef Ijaz of the @cartercenter.bsky.social.

Infographic from WHO displaying a decrease in Guinea worm disease cases from 3.5 million to 15 in 2024, with a bar graph illustrating the significant reduction over time.
From 3.5 Million Cases to Just 15: the near-eradication of #GuineaWorm disease is a powerful testament to global commitment. This success - plus 58 countries eliminating at least one #NTD, proves elimination is possible.

It's a rare thing, but when we get a chance to tell a story that inspires and nurtures us, we must tell it. Excited to share whatโs coming nextโฆ

And now I'm thinking of the myriad awkward/inappropriate/morbid stories about #ebola, #guineaworm, other #infectiousdiseases... and other shenanigans - e.g. being put on trial in someone else's stead in #SouthSudan, the most mundane case, re: stealing a #bicycle (that i did not in fact steal) ๐
Itโs incredible to think that just 30 years ago there were 3.5 million cases of #GuineaWorm disease globally every year.
In each of the last four years, there have been 15 cases or less. We are on the brink of an historic achievement.
Where I am at with my Guinea worm. Just going where it takes me.

Honoured to meet 2002 @Emoryuni + share my childhood experience having guinea worm in #Karamoja Uganda
If #IlDouche does anything 1% as important and lasting as this, as president or after, I will probably die of shock.

Among the many achievements of the great #JimmyCarter, is the campaign to eradicate #GuineaWorm, waged by the Carter Center. This year, just 7 cases have been recorded in humans, while animal infections continue to raise concern
Here's why I respect former President Jimmy Carter... #guineaworm
RIP Jimmy Carter a gentle giant amongst your presidential peers. One of your greatest achievements was supporting the virtual elimination of #guineaworm from Africa, thereby reducing the suffering of millions. No longer do you see people winding a worm on a matchstick from a sore. ๐๐งช#publichealth
Jimmy Carter didn't quite outlast #GuineaWorm, but not for lack of trying. www.npr.org/sections/goa...
Vaccines have such a long history of success, to deny them is to deny history -- vaccines eradicated or controlled many diseases and saved lives.

Eradicating #GuineaWorm will be testament to decades of effort, including major improvements to #water security across the globe. -- Millions had this disease in the 80s. Jimmy Carter's goal to end it now in sight. TY to the Carter Center + many others. www.usatoday.com/story/news/h...
When people work together, diseases get eliminated! #guineaworm www.beyondthepetridish.com/2015/05/countdown-to-zer...
