In #Sudan, conflict has caused the health system to collapse, allowing #NTDs to resurface. Young advocates like @Fatima_elbasri of @YouthCNTDs working to rebuild, but they need sustained funding and more global attention. Learn more: https://t.co/yKjGlikC2u #BeatNTDs

@JemalNanati @YouthCNTDs Decision-makers must embrace a bold, multi‑sectoral approach to designing NTD elimination strategies. Tackling these diseases demands more than single‑dimensional plans, it requires collaboration across health, education, water, sanitation, and beyond.

[FATIMA @Fatima_elbasri]

@YouthCNTDs What is your message to your government and decision makers to include youth in ending neglected diseases?

[FATIMA @Fatima_elbasri]

As young woman working to end the neglect has been a life mission to address inequalities among my peers.

If you want to know more about our work, join us this Saturday!
