“The smartest investment any country can make is in #PrimaryHealthCare, with an emphasis on promoting health and preventing disease.
As we all know, prevention is better than cure” - @DrTedros at #AUSummit

[Uniting to Combat Neglected Tropical Diseases @CombatNTDs]

What do Malawi, Togo & Sierra Leone have in common? All 3 are in the lower income bracket & yet all 3 are consistently reaching 75% or more of those in need of NTD care.

They are showing #NTDs are one of the best buys in public health: https://t.co/xaypUj7zI5 #AUSummit #beatNTDs

#HealthWorkers 👩‍⚕️👨‍⚕️ have an important role to play in the #WorldHealthDay campaign, helping decision-makers for health recognize what people need in terms of care, particularly at the primary care level.

It's time for #HealthForAll! 👇

The #WorldHealthDay campaign is an opportunity for ministers of health & other decision-makers to commit to universal health coverage in their countries, as well as to highlight progress that has already been made.

Vaccines provide better immunity than natural infections, #VaccinesWork!

[Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus @DrTedros]

Universal health coverage has the power not only to transform the health of populations, but to transform economies and change the trajectory of nations.

[Malaria No More UK @malarianomoreuk]

90% of people living in the #Commonwealth are at risk of #malaria🦟 which is why the commitment made at the Malaria Summit, to halve malaria in the Commonwealth by 2023, was such a game-changing moment for the malaria fight #EndMalaria

#Mosquito nets being used as garden fences while #Malaria burden, #Mortalities, #Cost to the #healthsystem and #economy remain very high.
Many collect the #ITNs and never use it
Time for a rethink of #Malaria prevention?

For children in Zambia, access to clean water and sanitary facilities helps to decrease the transmission of parasitic worm infections. A life free of disease means an opportunity for a full education! #unlockpotential

[Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene @RSTMH]

The standard treatment for #schistosomiasis is a drug called praziquantel - 3 doses spread out over 1 day can cure most people of the worms that cause the disease. But what if tea from a local plant worked just as well? https://t.co/XKzTVcZOKb #NTDs #beatNTDs

There are still 19.9 million kids worldwide who do not have access to a full course of the most basic vaccines. Half of these children are in just five countries: Nigeria, India, Pakistan, Indonesia and Ethiopia. #VaccinesWork

New article: #Snakebite burden in Sub-Saharan Africa: estimates from 41 countries. Article highlights annual burden of snakebite estimated at 1.03 million DALYs (95% Confidence Interval: 0.80 - 1.28 million DALYs) and surpasses that of many other #NTDs. https://t.co/SVJ5LAtp7c
