The World NTDs Day is being celebrated in Ogun State, Nigeria with increased awareness creation on the diseases in communities. COUNTDOWN is being recognised for its effort towards filling intervention gaps with its research findings.

[Oluwole Akinola @Dr_OluwoleAS]

COUNTDOWN supported the press briefing by the Commissioner for health in Ogun State on the maiden edition of NTD day

[COUNTDOWN Nigeria @COUNTDOWNNG]

To ensure responses to NTDs are indeed 'For All', the global health community must pay closer attention to the intersection between #gender and #NTDs. Join the Global #WorldNTDDay Webinar on 30 January 2020 | https://t.co/WPNI278d9M | #BeatNTDs. For Good. For All. @ADP_health

#Stigma- often people with #NTDs feel ashamed to attend health facilities for fear it will expose their condition, resulting in #discrimination #WorldNTDDay #beatNTDS #12daysofNTDs #MMDP @COR_NTD @Laura_Deano @shahreen_c @lumenmartins @Sightsavers_Pol

In 2020, no one, anywhere, should have to be blinded, disabled, disfigured or killed by diseases that we know how to beat. The fight against neglected tropical diseases is a fight for equity—and it is a fight we can win. #BeatNTDs https://t.co/L5A8iInw2x

[Kim Ozano @Kim_Ozano]

Excellent example of the power of using visual methods for communication & dissemination. Co-researcher techniques in this project are also a great learning opportunity for projects engaged in Participatory Health Research #PHR. Great work team Nigeria & #LSTM @ntdghcountdown

The cascade of knowledge & love for participatory action research is very visible here in Ogun, Nigeria. Samson, once a learner of #PAR now delivers training on the values of using participatory approaches. @NTDCOUNTDOWN @rfletch72 @Laura_Deano @HelenPiotrowsk3 @sallytheobald
